The entertainment and sports fields in Miami and throughout the country hold many opportunities for law school graduates.  The University of Miami School of Law boasts a unique blend of both subject-specific and broader courses that prepare its students for employment in these fields.  The Entertainment and Sports Law Society (ESLS) seeks to supplement the classroom education provided at UM Law with real-world experiences in the entertainment and sports law fields.

 

The purpose of the Entertainment and Sports Law Society is to educate and inform students about the realities of practicing in the entertainment and sports law fields.  We seek to provide our members with an insight into various avenues available to them as practicing attorneys, whether that is representation of entertainment and sports figures and entities, practicing in a law firm with an entertainment or sports division, or work within a major sporting league.

 

Throughout the year, the Entertainment and Sports Law Society hosts various events for its members, including on-campus guest speakers, networking events with various entertainment and sports professionals, and happy hours.  The Society will be hosting the 13th annual Spring Entertainment and Sports Law Symposium in February 2010.  This event has become a hallmark of the society and features panelists from across the country.  More information can be found on the Symposium page.

 

Thank you for your interest in the Entertainment and Sports Law Society!  The Executive Board is excited about the speakers we’re presenting this year, and we hope to see you at the Symposium in February!
