  • Evaluating the Court of Arbitration for Sport As an International Tribunal Table of Contents
    Turning Medals into Metal: Evaluating the Court of Arbitration of Sport as an International Tribunal Daniel H. Yi Yale Law School May 2006 Abstract The history of transnational adjudication is littered with failure and disappointment. War crimes tribunals have often become farces, the ICC has exacerbated armed conflicts, and even the venerable ICJ has endured humiliating failures. This piece makes a compelling case for why one international tribunal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (“CAS”), has managed to flourish in the otherwise depressing landscape of transnational adjudication. Specifically, the article makes a novel argument for 1) why parties are drawn to the CAS, and 2) how the CAS’ speech acts manage to have force. Reviewer Information I am currently a third-year student at Yale Law School. Prior to law school, I spent a year as a Fulbright scholar studying the distance running phenomenon in Kenya. I have also worked extensively with the U.S. Association for Track & Field (“USATF”), and was heavily involved in USATF’s legal response to the “BALCO” scandal of 2004. Beginning next September, I will be clerking for Judge David F. Hamilton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.

    ABSTRACT WRITING THE OLYMPIC DREAM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE 2004 OLYMPIC PAUL HAMM MEDIA CONTROVERSY by Margi Sammons This thesis is a critical analysis of newspaper coverage of the 2004 Olympic men’s gymnastics “controversy.” In this coverage an Olympic media complex is present, in which the press must recognize the Olympic myth and simultaneously deal with its inherent hegemonic and capitalistic ideologies when reporting on Olympic “scandals.” This paper will present a case study of USA Today and The New York Times articles to illustrate the language, topics, and style these newspapers use to cover the “controversy.” Writing the Olympic Dream: A Critical Analysis of the Media Coverage of the 2004 Olympic Paul Hamm Media Controversy A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communication by Margi Sammons Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2005 Advisor______________________________________ Dr. Kathleen German Reader_______________________________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader_______________________________________ Dr. Ronald Scott TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 ................................................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER 2 ................................................................................................................................. 23 CHAPTER 3 ................................................................................................................................
