The first book of its kind dedicated to an assessment of the legality of boxing, The Legality of Boxing: A Punch Drunk Love? assesses the legal response to prize fighting and undertakes a current analysis of the status of boxing in both criminal legal theory and practice.In this book, Anderson exposes boxing’s 'exemption' from contemporary legal and social norms. Reviewing all aspects of boxing - historical, legal, moral, ethical, philosophical, medical, racial and regulatory - he concludes that the supposition that boxing has a (consensual) immunity from the ordinary law of violence, based primarily on its social utility as a recognised sport, is not as robust as is usually assumed. It: suggests that the sport is extremely vulnerable to prosecution and might in fact already be illegal under English criminal lawoutlines the physical and financial exploitation suffered by individual boxers both inside and outside the ring, suggesting that standard boxing contracts are coercive thus illegal and that boxers do not give adequate levels of informed consent to participateadvocates a number of fundamental reforms, including possibly that the sport will have to consider banning blows to the headproposes the creation of a national boxing commission in the US and a similar entity in the United Kingdom, which together would attempt to restore the credibility of a sport long know as the red-light district of sports administration.An excellent book, it is a must read for all those studying sports law, popular culture and the law and jurisprudence.

In this essential primer on the key themes in sports law, Jack Anderson explains how law has become important to all aspects of sport, including participation, administration and the resolution of disputes. Crossing legal jurisdictions and sporting codes, it covers issues ranging from ambush marketing to broadcasting, corruption and doping.Analysing the broad range of actors and stakeholders involved in sport, this concise introduction illustrates how sports law, once the folly of contract law, now engages criminal, competition and international human rights law. The legal nuances to contemporary debates on concussion, the ‘gamblification’ of sport, the rights of transgender athletes, and sport’s flirtation with everything from cryptocurrencies to NFTs and private equity, all come into the orbit of this book. A departure point for further study in sports law, this book is also a reminder that sports law must be about fair play on, off and in court.An accessible, global approach to sports law, this book will be an invaluable companion for scholars and students of sports law worldwide. It will be equally beneficial to legal practitioners, journalists and those with an interest in sport generally.

‘The Arcane Society of New York holds close the fortune you seek’A disgraced socialite who had fled to California is found barefoot in a snowy New York alleyway. There is no sign of how she got there, and she is too traumatised to speak. The only clue is a note found scribbled in the Bible she is clutching. The Arcane Society appears to be responsible – but no one knows anything about them. Newly qualified doctor Clara Mendel joins the city’s Sabel Club, a once thriving social society now devoted to solving the riddle of Viola Blackman. Clara is determined to help Viola speak again, but she also has an ulterior motive: if she can solve the mysterious case, it may tempt out of the shadows her old sparring partner James Moriarty: nemesis of the legendary Sherlock Holmes.But as the Sabel Club comes under violent attack, Clara is forced to ask herself to what lengths will the Arcane Society go in order to preserve their anonymity.And how much trust can she truly place in a master criminal?

The aim of this book is to provide an account of how the law influences the operation, administration and playing of modern sports. Although the book focuses on legal doctrine it has been written bearing in mind sport's historical, cultural, social and economic context, including the drama and colour of sport's major events and leading personalities. And although it is inevitably very much concerned with elite professional sports it is not dominated by them, and seeks to cover the widest possible range of sports, professional and amateur. Initially, the book addresses practical issues such as the structures of national and international sport, and examines the evolution of the body of law known as 'sports law'. Thereafter three main themes are identified: regulatory; participatory; and, financial aspects of modern sport. The regulatory theme is dealt with in chapters considering the manner in which decisions of sports governing bodies may be challenged in the ordinary courts and the development of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in sport.The participatory theme includes the legal regulation of doping and violence in sport, as well as the broader topic of tortious liability for sporting injuries. The financial theme, reflecting the enhanced commercialisation of sport at all levels, is developed in chapters concerning issues in applied contract and employment law for players and legal matters surrounding the organisation of major sports events. The conclusion summarises modern sport's experience of EU law, pointing the way to the future direction of sports law more generally. While the book is aimed primarily at students, and is designed to cover fundamental and topical areas of sports law (sports law in general; sports bodies and the courts; arbitration in sport; corruption; doping; violence; civil liability; discrimination; the commodification of modern sport; and, the likely future of sports law), it should also prove of wider interest to practitioners, sports administrators and governing bodies; and though focused primarily on UK law it will also appeal to readers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA.

This book accounts for over 25 of the most influential cases in international sports law, as written by some of the leading authorities in the area.

In these 37 prose-poems, ranging in density from short lists to treatises on poetics and philosophy, Anderson begins with a deceptively simple voice that breaks into dark hilarity: "No, you shall not be hurt. You may depart at once. All that is required is that you wear this placard reading, I am an ugly thing because I am superfluous."
