Hackney Publications Partners with SRLA to Bring the Sports Law
Newsletter, Sports Litigation Alert, to College Students at
Reduced Rate
AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON) July 16, 2008 --
Hackney Publications, publisher of Sports Litigation Alert -- the
industry’s only bi-weekly sports law
newsletter, announced today that it has reached an agreement with the
Sports and Recreation Law Association (http://srlaweb.org/)
that will bring the newsletter at a reduced rate to college students
taking sports law classes.
Also as part of the agreement, SRLA members, who are typically sports
law professors, will gain access to the sports law newsletter and a
searchable archive of cases extending back more than 5 years.
“SRLA is a tremendous organization that anyone
teaching sports law should consider joining,”
said Holt Hackney, the editor and publisher of the Sports Litigation
Alert. “It is a rapidly growing community
of sports law professors, who share information about the subject as
well as how best to impart that material to the college students taking
their class.”
In conjunction with the announcement with SRLA, Hackney said the Sports
Litigation Alert web site would also start including a directory of
expert witnesses, beginning with the August 1 issue.
“The expert witness directory is really a
service to the hundreds of subscribers to Sports Litigation Alert
that are major law firms, professional sports leagues and teams,”
said Hackney. “I can’t
tell you how many times I have been asked if I knew of an expert witness
in a particular area.”
With 24 issues a year, Sports Litigation Alert features the
latest case summaries, articles and news briefs, all with a precise
focus on the sports law industry.
Among the subject categories of case summaries and articles featured in
the sports law newsletter are ADA, antitrust, assumption of risk,
Constitution, contract, defamation, discrimination, employment,
insurance, intellectual property, negligence, product liability and
Title IX.
Sports Litigation Alert, through Hackney Publications (www.hackneypublications.com),
is a member of the Sports Lawyers Association (www.sportslaw.org),
National Sports Law Institute and the Sports and Recreation Law
Association (http://srlaweb.org/).
