Abstract

It has been the purpose of this paper to stress the legal issues that could face physical education and athletic personnel in schools. A number of generalizations have been focused upon with the help of specific cases from legal records. The law is not always as clear-cut as many of the cases indicate. Gray areas are often present in defendent/plaintiff battles. Should a legal case grow out of your program, get a good lawyer. In the meantime, use foreseeability and take every reasonable precaution to prevent torts from occurring.
