Opis

Suitable for students and practitioners in sport and physical recreation. Covering a wide range of legal principles and cases, this textbook introduces the reader to legal systems, terminology, databases and the use of case law.

Recenzje

Although aimed predominantly at non lawyers, its 'user friendly' tried and tested basic information and guidance also has the potential to help law students struggling to cope with basic legal principles in an area of law they have an interest in rather than just one they need to know about. Yvonne Willams The Cambrian Law Review
