Paper Homework: Sport Law Project
Overview
While we regularly see issues and trends in the sport, tourism, and recreation industries make headlines in the media the, sometimes, underlying legal issues might not be as obvious. However, it is incumbent for a competent manager to understand how certain decisions, actions and the like might carry important legal implications. The three-part Sport Law Project in this course provides students the opportunity to explore a legal issue of their choosing from a variety of instructive methods. As a result, the Sport Law Project is comprised of the following three homeworks: an annotated bibliography, a written paper, and a risk management presentation. The Annotated Bibliography homework helps students delve into the scholarly literature in order to inform their breadth and depth of knowledge regarding the issue being examined. The Paper homework allows students the opportunity to develop their knowledge base by presenting literature and legal evidence on their chosen topic and applying the outcomes and lessons to managerial practice. Finally, the Risk Management Presentation homework creates the pragmatic yet hypothetical, ‘if I had to present this topic to my staff in an employee training workshop, what key information about this legal issue do I need to convey from a risk management perspective?'
Instructions
For this homework, you will develop the same sport, tourism, or recreation-related legal issue that you chose for the annotated bibliography homework and write a 10 to 15 pages (not including title page, abstract, references or necessary appendices) research paper. The paper should demonstrate new knowledge of the subject matter, substantive content with focused ideas and critical thinking. Coherent application of the legal issue to managerial practice must be integrated with the literature and supported with your findings.
