| Abstract: | This article suggests ways to incorporate legal issues related to the Olympic Games into a business law or legal environment course. As demonstrated in previous issues of this journal and elsewhere, material related to sports law can serve as an engaging supplement to traditional legal subjects. Topics that can be related to the Olympics include constitutional law, jurisdiction, arbitration, gender and disability discrimination, and intellectual property. The article first describes the fundamental structure of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and then explores relevant statutes and prominent cases involving the Olympic Games. Professors can incorporate these examples to complement coverage and enhance student understanding of constitutional law, jurisdiction, arbitration, gender and disability discrimination, and trademark law. The Appendix at the end of this article provides questions that professors might present to students for discussion and further research on Olympic-related topics. (Contains 90 footnotes.) |
