Legal Issues and the Supervised Internship Relationship: Who Is Responsible for What?
Anita M. Moorman

Abstract:
It easily could be argued that no single step in a sport management career path is as important and valuable as an internship. This article identifies some of the situations in an internship that raise legal issues for the university, academic program, student, and sponsoring organization. In addition, the article includes several procedural and policy recommendations that may help minimize potential legal concerns. The examination of true scenarios, obtained from internship directors, provides readers with an opportunity to see the many legal questions and concerns that can occur.
