| Summary: | While I was there-the American Bar Association allows law professors to practice limited number of hours-I did some pro bono work through LCA. [...]I just had the opportunity after five years at John Marshall when an in-house attorney position became available through WTTW public television station, because I knew the general counsel, Katherine Lauderdale, again through the Bar Association. [...]pretty much today-Channel 11 was considered, within the public television system, what was known as a major producing station, which means they produced a lot of shows for national broadcast-making them available to over 300 public television stations-as well as, local shows like "Chicago Tonight." All the required courses in law school are important, because, yes, you can take courses that the law school may offer in entertainment law or anything like that, but as an entertainment lawyer you really have to be versed in what I call "the meat and potatoes" areas of the law school classes, which is contracts, labor law, corporate law, sometimes even administrative law (although that's not necessarily core curriculum), tort law, copyright, and trademark law-any of those things that most people are going to take in law school are important for the entertainment lawyer. [...]it's difficult in a law firm atmosphere versus solo practice to, you know, pay your way. Because you have other employees and you're splitting profits? |
