ENMGT 355 - Entertainment Law
3 Credit(s)
This course surveys the many legal doctrines that shape the entertainment industry and explores how those various doctrines interact. Topics include free speech, defamation, invasion of privacy, publicity rights, copyright, contractual relations in the entertainment industry, and performer organizations. The course also explores practical aspects of entertainment law, such as client counseling and litigation strategy, and theoretical questions raised by the interplay of federal law, state law, and the rules of private organizations. This course should prepare students to analyze a wide variety of entertainment law issues at a general level. Dealing with more narrow topics, such as copyright litigation or union negotiation, may require additional, specialized study. This class should also help to polish one’s legal reasoning skills and introduce students to some of the practical and ethical concerns of a working attorney.
