1) Describe the difference between negligence, intentional torts, product liability and strict liability and how they apply to sports law. What is the level of risk associated with each, and how is that risk managed (if at all)?

2) What are the defenses to a negligence claim? Explain how they apply to sports law.

3) Find a sports law case that has taken place in the past 5 years. Detail the facts of the case your own words. Discuss what theory of tort law is applicable to the case. Include the court's ruling and reasoning. Add your own opinion on the outcome of the case. Do you agree or disagree with the court's findings?

4) Based on what you have learned about the negligence and tort area of law, do you think that it effectively meets the legal needs of the sports industry and that segment of society that enjoys sporting events? Is a better approach possible?
