The IP, Arts, and Entertainment Law Section is on a mission to develop a network of qualified attorneys to support Alaska's thriving arts community. This interactive CLE will address the key legal areas required to advise visual artists, writers, poets, musicians, dancers, actors and other artists, and arts groups. Sessions will cover copyright, trademark and rights of publicity law, including recent developments of note, key contract issues, and other legal concerns of artists. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a model client counseling session in small groups, with feedback provided. While the session is focused on the arts, many of the topics will have application to a broad range of practice areas.
