Learning outcomes

The course aims to provide students with a systematic and comprehensive vision of Sports Justice, through the analysis - in the context of an overall view of the issues of sports law - of the different and heterogeneous forms of disputes resolution within the sports legal system, national and international. In particular, will be analysed - with reference to the different types of sports disputes (technical, associative, economic and disciplinary) - the home justice systems of CONI, of the main national sports Federations and of the most important international sports organizations (CIO, UEFA, FIFA, UCI, WADA), the relative regulations, as well as the type and functioning of the respective sports Justice Bodies. Particular attention will then be given to the relationship between the State Jurisdiction and Sports Justice, through the study of the main instruments of subjection of the cardholders to the effectiveness of the decisions of the sports Justice Bodies and the analysis of their relevance and effectiveness for the State order.
