ENTERTAINMENT & SPORTS LAW
An increasingly common area of practice, especially in the country’s major centres, entertain-
ment and sports law is particularly concerned with the law as it relates to artistic performers
and athletes. Much of the research and practice in this topic is related to contracts, but there
are other areas of activity as well, such as copyright, intellectual property, and negligence (e.g.,
sports injuries) inter alia. Most issues within this topic are rooted in jurisprudence. Related
