Review (PDF) Essentials Of Sports Law, 4th Edition
In this thoroughly revised Fourth Edition, Glenn Wong provides a comprehensive review of the various sports law issues facing professional, intercollegiate, Olympic, high school, youth, and adult recreational sports. Major topics include tort liability, contracts/waivers, antitrust law, labor law, constitutional law, gender discrimination, drug testing, intellectual property law, broadcasting laws pertaining to sports agents, business and employment law, Internet gambling, and athletes with disabilities. Significant additions here include new court decisions, agreements (contracts and collective bargaining agreements), and legislation (federal, state, association, and institutional rules and regulations). Discussions of legal concepts are supplemented with summaries and excerpts from hundreds of actual sports cases. Wong cites a variety of books, law review articles, newspaper articles, and Web links for those requiring further information on particular topics. This text-professional guide serves as an invaluable resource to those involved, or studying to become involved, in the vast industry of sports.

This text is a very comprehensive approach to sports law. However, because of the depth and writing style of the author, this text is more suitable for graduate level or law school courses.
I first encountered Professor Wong at his presentation at the Sport Lawyer's Association. He is insightful and thorough in his approach. Upon extensive review of his new comprehensive text, I am even more impressed, and know that it is an outstanding fit for incorporating into a challenging and cutting-edge curriculum. His research is impeccable, and the segmented layout is most suitable to both traditional and cohort models. Everyone in the field should have a copy on their shelf! Professor Corinne Kaplan, J.D.
A very comprehensive law book. It is very explanatory without going too in depth into the cases themselves. I would recommend it to anyone interested in sports law or sports management.
