Sports Law

The history of modern-day sports has evolved from a mode of amusement to a course of sheer competition. The Sports Law and Welfare Association of India (“SLAWIN”) defines it as “one of those fields of law that is applied in the field of sports, physical education and its related fields. It is a pure law as opposed to theoretical law and is concerned with how the law in general interacts with the activity known as sports”.

Owing to the commercialization of sports, the economic dimension of sports has paved the way for immense growth for nations in this sector. Statistically speaking, it is a multi-billion dollar industry with high global growth.
