NSU’s Sports and Entertainment Law Symposium
Nova Southeastern University’s Sports & Entertainment Law Society is hosting its second annual Sports and Entertainment Law Symposium on Saturday at its campus in Davie.
Really meaty issues on the agenda: intellectual property as it relates to athletes’ publicity rights, including the fantasy sports case about using athletes’ names and statistics without paying the leagues; legal issues surrounding blogs and other dealings with the media; and new business models for the music industry. MLB Players Association Executive Director Don Fehr is the keynote speaker at lunch.
This is an impressive group of speakers, renowned lawyers and members of the media and the like. And yes, yours truly will be the only non-lawyer on the intellectual property panel.
The symposium starts at 9:15 a.m. Check out this link for more details and to register.
