Review (PDF) Sport Law: A Managerial Approach
Sport Law: A Managerial Approach, third edition, merges law and sport management in a way that is accessible and straightforward.

Had to purchase this as a textbook for a masters sports law class, and I love it. It has great real world examples to explain sometimes complex legal issues and the case studies and problems we worked through are a big help. Excellent textbook!
This book takes a look a legal aspects that sport managers may need to consider. Best book for taking the technical layers and complications of law (sport managing students are not law students) and brings them to level that sport managers can use. The only better way receive this information form Dr. Sharp herself.
This textbook merges law and sport management in a way that is easy to comprehend. This book was required for a class but I do like this book very much.
This book gives great information on Sport Law. It isn't dated and does a good job of explaining the information in the text.
It's an easy read with great information and full of examples. The first edition would have been sufficient for my class.
i am using it for my classes and also for references as i write my papers, very good informaiton here
I am not sure what good condition means but to me that means there are no ripped pages or that the book does not look like its going to fall apart. Several dog-eared pages, torn pages, and pages marked with stickers and wrtting/highlighting. This item should have been classified as acceptable.
This book has more of a managerial approach to staying out of court. Its very insightful, I highly recommend it!!!
