BLW 625 - Talent Representation and Marketing in Sports, Entertainment and Media

The sports and entertainment law course will focus on substantive areas of the law that are related to sports and entertainment, including antitrust, contracts, labor, intellectual property, privacy rights, SAG requirements and torts. A major theme of this course involves the need to balance between internal self-regulation of professional sports and entertainment with external government oversight. Students in this course will read cases, participate in discussions, and answer questions formulated from a modified version of the Socratic Method. All students will take both a midterm and final exam, as well as write a term paper that discusses a substantive area related to sports or entertainment law.
