  • Journal of Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ENTERTAINMENT LAW VOLUME 5 FALL 2015 NUMBER 1 FOREWORD THE INTERNATIONAL EVOLUTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RICHARD A. EPSTEIN* Two of the papers included in this issue of the NYU Journal of Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law illustrate, in the context of intellectual property law, a tension that exists across all areas of international law. To what extent should the rules of different countries be harmonized? Or, alternatively, to what extent should these laws be adapted to the local conditions within any given country? A moment’s reflection should indicate why there is no pat answer to this challenge in any area of substantive law. On the one side, a stout commitment to uniformity of law facilitates the cross-border transactions that are the life-blood of international trade and cooperation. The ability of private parties and government officials to know that the rules of the game are constant in all arenas should lead to a massive simplification of the overall operation of the international legal order. The gains from such simplification should be substantial even in transactions requiring harmonization between only two legal systems. But with intellectual property, nothing is more common than for key transactions to have a global reach that could * Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, The New York University School of Law, the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow, The Hoover Institution and the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law Emeritus and Senior Lecturer, the University of Chicago School of Law.

  • Sports and Entertainment Law
    SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT LAW What does a sports lawyer do? Sports law is a broad area best defined as a legal practice responsive to the needs of owners, coaches, athletes, universities, and business organizations such as sports marketing firms and apparel manufacturers. Sports lawyers represent clients in complex commercial transactions, intellectual property rights, licensing, regulatory compliance, contract negotiation and dispute resolution. Accordingly, lawyers in this area must have a strong background in business transactions and intellectual property. What does an entertainment lawyer do? Like sports lawyers, entertainment lawyers have diverse practices that require expertise in business and intellectual property law. Key areas of service include entertainment finance, development and production agreements, sales and distribution agreements, advertising contracts, publishing, licensing, and merchandising agreements, and talent agreements. How can I become a sports or entertainment lawyer? An aspiring lawyer in this field should gain as much experience that he or she can with intellectual property law (see Quick Guide to Intellectual Property Law) and corporate transactions. You should take all the courses offered in these areas and participate in student organizations. Join the relevant sections of the Maryland State Bar Association and the American Bar Association, and take advantage of their networking opportunities. Networking is best way to break into these fields as opportunities are limited, especially for entry-level attorneys, and competition for them is intense. Where can I practice sports or entertainment law? Many lawyers in these areas work in law firms or corporate law departments of businesses involved in sports and/or entertainment. Positions in sports law are also available at colleges and universities, professional sports franchises, and national sports associations and foundations.

    Entertainment and Sports Law University of Memphis Law School Career Services Office What is entertainment and sports law? Entertainment and sports law is civil law of a specific character that relates to the fields of entertainment and athletics. The practice involves contracts, labor law, corporate finance, intellectual property, and antitrust. Lawyers practicing in the field of entertainment and sports law specialize in knowing and understanding their clients’ industry and are able to advocate for their clients’ interests. In the major professional sports leagues of the National Football League (“NFL”), Major League Baseball (“MLB”), Na- tional Basketball Association (“NBA”), and National Hockey League (“NHL”), players’ associations act much like unions, regulating fees and salaries for sports professionals, coaches, and agents. For the lawyer specializing in entertainment law, intellectual property law takes center stage. Copyright law concerns the rights of creators of artistic works in the music, entertainment, publishing, and fine arts industries.
