Sports Law by Brittany Harris: SECONDARY SOURCES

This guide will provide a broad overview of the most common issues that arise in various professional and amateur sports. The research sources will act as a basic guide encompassing federal law with a focus on Florida.

SECONDARY SOURCES

Secondary sources are critical to effective research. Although they are not primary law the various materials discuss, explain, and critique the law.  Because sports law encompases such a wide variety of legal issues it is important to start with secondary sources as primary sources may be too ambiguous at the begining stages of research. Treatises, encyclopedias and law reviews give a better outline of the law and can create a more sturdy frame work to further research.
