Sports jurisdictions and civil jurisdictions

Abstract

In accordance with its nature and specificity, the federal sports movement has progressively institutionalized a "closed-type justice system" whose purpose is to resolve most sports disputes within it, according to the procedural rules established by domestic courts. The reasons for such a purpose are multiple and legitimate: understanding the nature and specifics of the dispute, the duration of the proceedings, avoiding judicial fees, the possibility of "choosing" the judge, etc.

Sports justice today presents itself as a jurisdictional system based on both legal and sporting norms, governed by the classical principles of a fair trial and consisting of all jurisdictional commissions with genuine powers in sports juris-dictio.
