Critics Review

‘The word “concise” does not do justice to the breadth and depth of this work. It brings together worldwide expertise to explain not only sport jurisprudence but also the underlying principles and possible future paths. I know of the passion and knowledge that Björn, Ling and Jack bring to sports law at the academic and practical level and congratulate them on a tour de force.’ – Annabelle Bennett, Barrister, 5 Wentworth, Australia‘This comprehensive and insightful Encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for students, legal professionals and sports organisations. Complex topics are explained clearly and succinctly, making complicated legal issues in sports law easy to comprehend. I recommend it to anyone who wants to familiarise themselves with every aspect of sports law as well as to those who represent clients before sports tribunals, such as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) or the Basketball Arbitral Tribunal (BAT). This book should not be missed from any bookshelf!’ – Ulrich Haas, University of Zurich, Switzerland
