体育法律

Preparing you for the rapidly changing sports industry.

Through the 体育法律 concentration at the Creighton 法学院, you will receive a solid foundation in a wide variety of legal fields that comprise the field of study that is Sports Law.

你的经验

In the core 体育法律 course, you will have an opportunity to study a variety of topics in the field ranging from amateur sports and NCAA compliance, 到集体谈判, 反垄断, and intellectual property issues. 在本课程中, understanding the substantive knowledge is followed by mastery of the material through negotiation exercises in and out of the classroom. Past classes have engaged in baseball salary arbitrations, NBA free agency negotiations, NFL and NBA collective bargaining, 教练收购, and endorsement deals among others. 在这些练习中, you will be asked to know and apply not just the underlying legal rules, but to understand the nuance and context involved in each of these negotiation settings. The required Negotiation course will provide you a setting to practice one of the most essential skills of any sports attorney – the art of negotiating a deal. The third required course will focus on intellectual property rights involving broadcasting, internet and electronic transmissions, 名字, 图像, 肖像权利, 等., that have become of paramount importance in the sports law field. The elective courses have been chosen to allow you to deepen your understanding of many of the most common legal issues related to sports.
