On Wednesday 24 October 2018 Victoria Law Foundation presented The Law and You Forum at Federation Square, the second in our annual series exploring an intriguing area of the law.

This year’s topic, Is Sport Playing by the Rules? provoked insights on how sport’s separate legal ecosystems - with different rules, courts, judges and sanctions - compare to general legal standards and processes. In a wide-ranging discussion, panellists raised issues including violence, sledging and workers compensation, and the different treatments in sport, compared with community expectations.
