Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law Journal
Diverse
opinions contribute to the vitality of the law, and for every topic
there are many issues to be addressed. The Entertainment, Arts and
Sports Law Journal is a forum for ideas and a repository for legal
analyses and theories. The EASL Journal presents topics that
EASL attorneys address on a daily basis, and provides comprehensive
overviews of both large issues that affect a majority of the EASL
Section membership and analyses of more specific issues that affect only
a few. In addition to contributions from practicing attorneys, the
EASL Journal accepts articles from laypersons involved with
issues that affect many in the EASL fields. Edited by Elissa D. Hecker,
Esq., the EASL
Journal is published three times a
year by the Entertainment, Art and Sports Law Section and
distributed to Section Members free of charge.
