Browns tell city they will not comply with Modell law, want decision made in court
WOIO: Eric Chaffee, professor and the Peter M. Gerhart Distinguished Research Scholar at the School of Law, said that the City of Cleveland and the Browns will head to court over the “Modell Law,” which the city argues prohibits the team’s move to Brook Park without offering locals a chance to buy the team. The Browns dispute the law's legitimacy and seek resolution in federal court. “Ultimately, interpreting the law is what the courts are charged with doing,” he said.
