Review: Sports Law By Mark James

‘Sports Law’, written by Professor Mark James and published by Palgrave Macmillan is the most up to date and serious proposition in the current Sports Law academic books panorama.

Mark James, one of the authors of the book ‘Sports Law’ published by Cavendish Publishing (last edition of 2006), goes solo on this mission. The result is a more comprehensive and useful book, not only for students of the topic, but also for practitioners wanting to learn from scratch.

Where the previous ‘Sports Law’ dedicated endless number of pages to debate whether there is such a thing as ‘Sports Law’ or the number of resolution of the Council of Europe, or the reports about football of the nineties, Mark James goes straight to the point (see chapter 1).

Review: Sports Sponsorship & the Law

Alfonso Valero, Co-Editor Lawinsport.com, reviews Sports Sponsorship & the Law, a report edited by Stephan Fabien and published by International Marketing Reports.

The idea of the text is brilliant: a compilation of all the must know information about sponsorship for managers of companies which need to face a great deal of decisions about the topic. But not only that, the report is also good for practitioners who want to read experts' opinions as well as academics and students involved with sponsorship; a great deal of people interested in this industry would be attracted to this publication.

The report draws opinions from different operators: best known solicitors (Bird and Bird, K&L Gates, Farrer & Co, Onside Law amongst others); barristers (Jonathan Crystal, of Cloister Chambers) and clubs (Zoë Ward, of Liverpool FC).
