Postsecondary Athletics And The Law: A Selected Bibliography, Edmund P. Edmonds
Edmund P. Edmonds
Although sports have for many years been an integral part of American higher education, it was not until recent years that athletics in colleges and universities became enmeshed in legal problems. The heightened interest in the legal aspects of sports is apparent to even the most casual reader of the daily sports pages, and it is increasingly becoming a major concern of administrators in American colleges. Because of this interest one finds a number of articles appearing in law reviews in recent times, when in the past they were almost non-existent. In fact, the existence of this symposium issue is …

Arthur Soden's Legacy: The Origins And Early History Of Baseball's Reserve System, 2013 Notre Dame Law School
Arthur Soden's Legacy: The Origins And Early History Of Baseball's Reserve System, Edmund P. Edmonds
Edmund P. Edmonds
The article focuses on the nineteenth century evolution of the U.S. baseball reserves system. It mentions that the early history of the reserve clause establishes a relationship with sports collective bargaining agreements. It notes that its basic structure stems from a dispute between Boston owner Arthur Soden and baseball players James O'Rourke and George Wright. It also emphasizes on discipline imposed to the players who abandon their contracts to seek higher salaries from a different team.

Over Forty Years In The On-Deck Circle: Congress And The Baseball Antitrust Exemption, 2013 Notre Dame Law School
Over Forty Years In The On-Deck Circle: Congress And The Baseball Antitrust Exemption, Ed Edmonds
Edmund P. Edmonds
"Congressional discussion of baseball's antitrust exemption stretches over forty years involving a significant number of legislative initiatives. Although the exemption is a judicial aberration without justification, the 103d Congress will probably be no more successful than its predecessors in altering its long-standing existence. The three bills under consideration are not specifically crafted to resolve the problems of the changes in the commissioner's office or the lack of an expansion franchise or the relocation of an existing franchise to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area. Much of the history of Congressional concern over baseball's antitrust status suggests that broad-based attempts to completely remove …

Published Works
Major League Baseball (“MLB”) revised its amateur draft rules in 2012, which had a significant effect on how much of a signing bonus MLB teams could offer their draftees. Accordingly, it is no surprise that signing bonuses for first round draftees decreased by almost $12 million in 2012, as compared to 2011. The new rules, and their subsequent effect on MLB teams, demand that baseball student-athletes, now more than ever, not only be educated in all facets of the MLB Draft before deciding to turn pro or become/remain college student-athletes, but also retain a competent attorney or agent to represent …

The Impact Of The Jobs Act On Independent Film Finance, 2013 UCLA Law
The Impact Of The Jobs Act On Independent Film Finance, Sahil Chaudry
Sahil Chaudry
While the 2008 financial crisis fundamentally altered the capital structure of the indie film, the JOBS Act will fundamentally augment capital sources available to the indie film industry at the time it is most starved. The onset of the U.S. recession, triggered by the 2008 economic crisis, substantially reduced the capital markets for the production of independent films. In an effort to stimulate economic growth for business start-ups, Congress passed the JOBS Act in March 2012. Two provisions of the JOBS Act present the independent (“indie”) film industry the opportunity to expand its capital markets. The first provision is Section …
Sports Diplomacy In The Australian Context: A Case Study Of The Department Of Foreign Affairs And Trade, 2013 Bond University
Sports Diplomacy In The Australian Context: A Case Study Of The Department Of Foreign Affairs And Trade, Stuart Murray
Stuart Murray
For a county with a small population, a remote location and an awkward colonial past, Australia has a remarkable record of success in international sport, so much so that sport is often considered a ‘religion’ in the ‘Lucky Country’. If diplomacy is the business of representation, it would be expected that sport features prominently in Australia’s diplomacy. However, sport oddly languishes under the banner of Public Diplomacy (PD) and is overseen by an unloved, under-resourced and under-represented Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). To exploit the type of vertical, horizontal and plural channels and networks diplomacy can offer in …

Should The Internet Exempt The Media Sector From The Antitrust Laws?, 2013 University of South Dakota School of Law
Should The Internet Exempt The Media Sector From The Antitrust Laws?, Thomas J. Horton, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
This article examines whether the "old media" and the "new media", including the Internet, should be considered to be within the same relevant market for antitrust purposes. To do this the article first demonstrates that proper antitrust consideration of the role of non-price competition necessitates that “news” and “journalism” be analyzed in two distinct ways. First, every part of the operations of a newspaper (or other type of media source), including its investigative reporting and local coverage, should be assessed separately. We present empirical evidence collected for this study which demonstrates that the old media continues to win the vast …
