International Sports Arbitration Course

This module will cover:

• Identify the political and legal foundations of modern sport and how participation in sport is regulated internationally and domestically.
• Understand the nature of the 'sporting contract' and how this contract binds participants to sports regulation and also sports arbitration (for the determination of disputes under the sports contract).
• Identify, analyse and understand the body of modern sports regulation or 'jus ludorem' which governs sports participation (ie. doping, integrity, gender and sex, eligibility, eligibility, selection, conduct [on and off field), game- rule and sports governance)
• Identify and understand the procedural means by which sporting disputes are determined via arbitration, most usually by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
• Analyse legal and policy documents which inform the body of sports regulation and the 'sports contract' which binds sports participants to this body of sports regulation.
• Critically analyse cases which determine disputes between sports participants and sports organisations which arise under the body of sports regulation to which participants in sport are legally bound.
