"As a student in Miami Law's joint JD/Masters of Music Business and Entertainment Industries program, I am particularly looking forward to the panel on Recent Developments in the Legal Landscape of Music," said Amanda LeCheminant, 3L, publicity chair for the Entertainment & Sports Law Society. "This is an especially exciting time in music and copyright law, and I hope to gain insight from the entertainment attorneys about the Register of Copyright's recent call for copyright reform. Having attended the event several times in the past, I anticipate that this year's Symposium will facilitate even more diverse and meaningful discussions than ever before."
The Entertainment and Sports Law Society hosted its first Entertainment and Sports Law Symposium in 1997. Since then, the symposium has grown into a full-scale event at which law students and professionals discuss current legal issues in sports, entertainment, intellectual property, the arts, and the media.
General admission is $125. University of Miami students with ID will be asked to pay $30 to attend, and non-UM students and Young Alumni will be charged $40. A total of 7.5 CLE credits are pending approval from the Florida Bar.
