Very Good Book

The West Legal Study Series is a very good entry level Sports Law book. I highly recommend it.

Easy to understand general idea of sports law

Easy to understand general idea of sports law with relevant cases. Each chapter is relatively shot but explain important issues and idea very well. I recommend this book for starter.

This is an EXCELLENT textbook

Highly recommend this to all law schools, agents and anyone interested in Sports Law.

GREAT GUIDE TO SPORTS AND THE LAW

The sports world is such a mystery and this book helps me understand it. Most books start out with a warm up of hey this is the law and blah,blah,blah...this books says hello want to become a sports agent right in the first chapter. I have to say this book does not intimidate me as a reader it is more of a guide to sports and the law. A must buy if you are even thinking about becoming a sports agent or sports paralegal.

A Textbook For All Audiences

I have found this text be simple yet extremely informative. Based upon what the author wrote, the audience for the textbook is the non-law student. Well, even so I believe that it would serve as a fine addition to any sports and the law class in law school. I especially enjoyed the weight given to international issues and the Olympic Games.
