Milbank Tweed Forum:
Over the past year, sports have seemingly been contested as much in a court of law as on a playing court, with judges asked to referee disputes involving collective bargaining, antitrust, head injuries, doping, and other matters. Has this multi-arena legal conflict harmed the future of sports? Should the legal system treat sports the same as any other big business? Should government step in to save sports, which it already regulates, for the public good? On April 18, 2012, University Professor Arthur R. Miller led a distinguished panel in discussion on these and other topics.
