Now in its fourth edition, this book continues to provide a unique, concise, up-to-date understanding of the legal concepts vital to teachers, coaches, sports administrators, and indeed all who work in any phase of sport and its related fields such as physical education, fitness, athletics, and recreation. Because it is concept based rather than case based, the book provides a breadth and depth of understanding of legal issues through the lens of sport that is accessible, entertaining, clear, and applicable in all settings. This edition introduces new cutting-edge scenarios through which the reader may apply and review the legal concepts skilfully presented. Current "headline" contexts from bullying to unionisation and licensing, hazing to pre-game prayer and workers' compensation, and waivers to federal anti-discrimination legislation invite the reader to evaluate and apply the legal concepts taught. If you are a teacher, coach, or administrator of a sport program, or a student preparing for one of these professions, this book was written for you!.
