: I don't think there's much of a cross-over between sports law and intellectual property. The closest intersection for entertainment law is copyright. More topical areas of concentration would be contract law and litigation (civil procedure). Another interesting area of interest is right of privacy (can't use someone's likeness for commercial purposes without permission) -- usually discussed in the context of First Amendment (free speech, specifically). : Luckily, contracts and civil procedure are typically first-year topics so you won't miss it. : Patents will probably be useless to you. Trademarks might have some tangential relevance. There will probably be a class specific to entertainment law and will touch on all the topics that are pertinent to some degree. : Good luck and have fun! : Regards. : : : I am extremely interest in the sports and entertainment industry. I'm particularly interested in the legal aspect of sports and entertainment. I'm planning on going to law school where I will be focused on property law. Is that a good move? Will the industry need someone with a property law concentration? I basically want to be an attorney that does legal work for the sports and entertainment industry. A far as copyright, trademark etc. I would appreciate some advice. Thaks.
