SPORT AND THE LAW

Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject explores the intersection of sport and law. It examines the place of sport in Australian society and how different bodies of law govern community- and elite-level sporting activities at local, national and international levels. The recent emergence of sports law allows us to assess and understand how existing legal fields such as contract, tort and employment law apply in sport, while also considering sport-specific fields such as anti-doping, sport tribunals and competition structure and governance. Recent controversies such as the Essendon supplement saga and concussion in sport will be utilised as case studies.
