Following is the course description as contained
in the Manual of Policies and Procedures of Capital University Law School.
BASEBALL AND THE LAW - 828 (2 credits): This course
will use a popular culture topic (baseball) to demonstrate the law’s
extensive influence upon that popular cultural institution. Materials
and discussion will primarily focus on the interrelationship between
law and professional baseball with some references to minor league,
college, and little league or pick-up softball games. Areas of law to
be discussed include antitrust, contracts, torts, intellectual property,
labor law, tax, eminent domain, gender equity, criminal (drug and gambling),
immigration, arbitration, workers’ compensation, and the power
of the commissioner. Course materials will be drawn from decided legal
cases, law review articles, and various books relevant to the topic.
Prerequisites: First year day courses.
