Super Bowl Sunday is Almost Here... Law Library Sports Law Display and Resources

This Sunday marks Super Bowl XLIX, an AFC/NFC showdown between the Patriots and the Seahawks.  With the controversy over "deflate-gate", the biggest football game of the year has been put in the spotlight more than ever.

In the spirit of the event, the Law Library is putting a spotlight on Sports Law in its new display.  The display features many of the Law Library's print and electronic resources on Sports Law.  Electronically available Sports Law treatises are featured, as well as sports law journals available via HeinOnline.  Also included are many of the Law Library's print titles (as well as e-book titles) covering Sports Law issues, ranging from antitrust and intellectual property issues in professional sports, to Title IX requirements in collegiate sports, to the laws governing athletes and agents and Sports Law as a career.

The featured e-book titles, available directly below for authenticated law users (or by searching the EBL database through the Law Library's Research Databases page) include:

How to Play the Game : What Every Sports Attorney Needs to Know / by Darren Heitner

Sports Justice: The Law and Business of Sports / by Roger I. Abrams
