Reviews

This is the strongest sports law textbook I have seen * Richard Parrish, Edge Hill University, UK * Innovative, authoritative and accessible. Students will appreciate its depth of coverage and its clear layout, while those with a greater expertise can still learn from the lucid, thought-provoking exploration of the key issues. I've enjoyed reading it. * David McArdle, Stirling Law School, UK * An excellent comprehensive text covering relevant areas. The style is clear, interesting and readable and I think will be accessible to our non-law students as well as to those who are move familiar with the legal principles. * Fiona Buchanan, University of Cumbria, UK. *
