Law school is all about case briefs and outlines, right? WRONG! FPLC has dozens of organizations that offer students the opportunity to learn about the legal profession, serve the community, meet new people, and HAVE FUN!  Throughout the semester, the Reporter will be spotlighting various organizations to let you know who they are, what they do, and why YOU should check it out.

 This week, we look at the Entertainment Law Society.  The purpose of the Entertainment Law Society is to promote an understanding and appreciation of the legal  structure of the motion picture, music, and theatrical industries. The Entertainment Law Society intends to familiarize law students with the intellectual property rights and contractual relationships between the media producers, distributors, and authors of these industries as well as the deal making and advising aspects of practice in the greater entertainment field. The Entertainment Law Society aims to accomplish this by sponsoring extracurricular programs such as guest lectures from experts in entertainment law, career planning seminars to aid students entering this field, and forums for interaction and communication between current students, faculty, and alumni from various backgrounds in intellectual property law.
