With AFL and the NRL finals over for another year, and the dust settled on the spectacle and entertainment provided by these events, an opportunity arises to reflect on other highlights of 2014 in the equally dynamic world of law and sport. This presentation provides an overview of significant Sports Law issues in 2014 in Australia and seeks to demonstrate that, despite not having as great an entertainment value as grand finals, the topics are of equal significance and importance to understanding how sport, the law and society interact, providing opportunities for academic scholarship and options for rewarding professional practice careers in Sports Law.

Annette Greenhow is Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, Bond University. She joined the Faculty in the mid-1990s during her private legal practice career and is now a full-time academic. She teaches Sports Law, Business Associations and Land Law. Her research interests focus on the intersection between sport, law, regulation and governance, and her PhD research evaluates current regulatory responses of Australian football codes to concussion management at the elite level.  

Annette is a member of the Centre for Commercial Law and co-editor of the Bond University Sports Law eJournal. She is a member of the Queensland Law Society, the Law Institute of Victoria and the Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Association.
