Download or read book An Examination of Court Cases Involving Interscholastic Athletics in Secondary Schools written by Jason M.. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is imperative that school administrators, athletic directors, and interscholastic/athletic associations become knowledgeable in the area of interscholastic athletics at the secondary level and fully understand its potential for litigation. Thus, the purpose of this research study is to examine issues, outcomes, and legal trends involving interscholastic athletics in secondary schools as it relates to school administrators, athletic directors, and interscholastic/athletic associations. A context for the research related to interscholastic athletics in secondary schools is framed in an analysis of court cases decided by the United States Supreme Court, United States Courts of Appeal, United States Federal District Courts, and state appellate courts. The data used in this study includes all relevant court cases from 1981 to 2008. An analysis of the cases indicates that the interscholastic/athletic association and other parties affiliated with the association received favorable judgments either through outright dismissal in court or through judgments as a matter of law in the vast majority of cases. Overall, the rulings of the courts consistently enforce a judicial noninterference policy favoring the interscholastic/athletic association's right to control and manage secondary interscholastic athletics with limited court intervention. The litigation issues covered in this study include transfer/residency rules, supremacy of athletic association rules and decisions, maximum participation rules (age and semesters), personal injury, recruiting rules, outside participation rules, discrimination, enrollment rules, and academic rules. Moreover, these litigation issues are intertwined with one or more causes of action such as court intervention, Fourteenth Amendment/state equal protection and due process, discrimination, Fourteenth and First Amendments, negligence, and First Amendment. In conclusion, this study produces analyses of the issues, outcomes, and legal trends that have emerged in interscholastic athletics in secondary schools over the last 28 years. As a result, the inquiry provides guiding principles and procedures for use by school administrators, athletic directors, and interscholastic/athletic associations to both avoid and prevail in litigation.

Download or read book Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Its Impact on Interscholastic Athletics written by Rebecca P. FitzPatrick and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempts to examine the role of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in interscholastic athletics to determine if a pattern exists in the application of the law. The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is responsible for enforcing the goal of Title IX, which is to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender in educational programs receiving federal assistance. Examining federal legislation, litigation, and guidance from the Office for Civil Rights provides a historical backdrop in which to examine the potential future guidance of Title IX on interscholastic athletics. Title IX was originally passed to rectify inequities in colleges and university programs, although it mentioned elementary and secondary schools. The earliest application of the law was on academic programs and departments. Ultimately, through guidance from the Office for Civil Rights and court cases the law was applied more broadly to include athletics and interscholastic institutions. The purpose of this study is to examine the patterns of application of the law to interscholastic athletics. Areas of examination include the application of Title IX's three-part test, elements in Title IX litigation, Title IX court case jurisdiction, frequency of interscholastic Title IX decisions, Title IX court cases by sport, Title IX court cases by gender, and the impact of booster club funding. The analysis of these areas provides school district administrators with instructive guidance for avoiding litigation and ultimately providing equitable athletic opportunities for both boys and girls.
Download or read book Case Studies in Sport Law written by Andrew T. Pittman and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case Studies in Sport Law, Second Edition, provides students with specific examples and perspectives of some of the most significant cases in sport law in an accessible tone that is free of legal jargon. The text is an ideal companion for non-law students who are seeking clarity and context for legal issues commonly encountered in sport management and sport law settings. The 87 cases provide real-life applications for students and scholars of sport management. This updated second edition of Case Studies in Sport Law contains one new case study to provide a more contemporary example while maintaining the most significant precedent cases. The text is easily incorporated as a supplement to course studies, especially for its recommended companion text, Introduction to Sport Law, Second Edition. These two texts were designed with the other in mind, and the structures match each other in order of topics presented so that students can easily cross-reference the two to obtain the best understanding of sport law. The 87 cases in Case Studies in Sport Law have been carefully curated by a team of experts in the field and represent many of the multifaceted aspects of sport law. Some of the areas covered in the text are school districts, colleges and universities, interscholastic and recreational programs, professional sport franchises, sporting goods manufacturers and trademarks, and governing bodies. This broad approach encourages students to understand the impact of legal issues on the sport industry, including many of the areas that students are hoping to pursue as a career. Case Studies in Sport Law offers condensed versions of each case as opposed to the full legal proceedings, which enables students to grasp key concepts of the case instead of wading through legal jargon. The cases are divided into the main topics that are most prevalent in sport law courses: agency law, antitrust law, constitutional law, contract law, employment law, intellectual property, labor law, products liability, risk management, statutory law, Title IX, tort law, and the U.S. legal system. This is an easy-to-follow format that allows instructors and readers easy selection of cases based on the topic at hand. In addition to the abridged court cases, each section provides introductory information to prepare students on the type of law that will be examined and key concepts to bear in mind while reading. Further, each case study ends with review questions that can test student comprehension, be used for review, and prompt in-class discussions. Answers to these review questions are in the instructor guide, which is free to course adopters and available at www.HumanKinetics.com/CaseStudiesInSportLaw. Litigation and lawsuits in sport are increasing; therefore, managers and operators must maintain a thorough understanding of legal practices. Case Studies in Sport Law is the ideal text to supplement a sport management or sport law class and bolster student comprehension of sport law issues, and it is a supreme reference in the professional library of all practitioners in college, high school, professional, and recreational sport settings.

Download or read book Sports Law in the United States written by Matthew J. Mitten and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of sports law in the United States deals with the regulation of sports activity by both public authorities and private sports organizations. The growing internationalization of sports inevitably increases the weight of global regulation, yet each country maintains its own distinct regime of sports law and its own national and local sports organizations. Sports law at a national or organizational level thus gains a growing relevance in comparative law. The book describes and discusses both state-created rules and autonomous self-regulation regarding the variety of economic, social, commercial, cultural, and political aspects of sports activities. Self- regulation manifests itself in the form of by-laws, and encompasses organizational provisions, disciplinary rules, and rules of play. However, the trend towards more professionalism in sports and the growing economic, social and cultural relevance of sports have prompted an increasing reliance on legal rules adopted by public authorities. This form of regulation appears in a variety of legal areas, including criminal law, labour law, commercial law, tax law, competition law, and tort law, and may vary following a particular type or sector of sport. It is in this dual and overlapping context that such much-publicized aspects as doping, sponsoring and media, and responsibility for injuries are legally measured. This monograph fills a gap in the legal literature by giving academics, practitioners, sports organizations, and policy makers access to sports law at this specific level. Lawyers representing parties with interests in the United States will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative sports law.
