August is National Golf Month - Law Library Display

August is National Golf Month and the Law Library is currently featuring a display with several titles that focus on Golf and the Law.

Did you know that there are a number of golf-related court cases at both the federal and state level? The Little Green Book of Golf Law by John H. Minan (featured on the display) discusses eighteen of these cases, which address disputes over patent protection for golf ball design, the use of reclaimed water on golf courses, as well as liability for golf cart accidents, defective club design, property damage, and more. 

Other titles on the display include: Fair Ways: How Six Black Golfers Won Civil Rights In Beaumont, Texas by Robert J. Robertson and Golf and the Law: A Practitioner’s Guide to the Law and Golf Management by Thomas H. Sawyer.

For those who might be interested in the intersection of baseball and the law, the Law Library has also placed several baseball-related titles on the display, including Legal Issues In Professional Baseball, edited by Lewis Kurlantzick, Baseball and the American Legal Mind, edited with introductions by Spencer Weber Waller, Neil B. Cohen, and Paul Finkelman, Legal Bases: Baseball and the Law, by Roger I. Abrams, One Man Out: Curt Flood Versus Baseball, by Robert M. Goldman, and Baseball and Antitrust: The Legislative History of the Curt Flood Act of 1998, edited by Edmund P. Edmonds and William H. Manz.
