Seton Hall University School of Law Entertainment and Sports Law Society

The Entertainment and Sports Law Society at Seton Hall University School of Law (ESLS) is a forum for students to learn about the entertainment and sports legal industries. Through participation in ESLS, members have the chance to establish valuable networking contacts in two industries that are notoriously difficult to break into through sponsored events.
Purpose
ESLS has evolved along with the technologies of the 21st century, and now holds both educational and social events for its members, including trips to recording studios, academic events and networking receptions.
In the past, the organization has sponsored events such as Monday Night Football viewing parties, industry meet and greets, and trips to New Jersey Devils hockey games and Newark Bears baesball games. Additionally, the organization co-hosted a copyright infringement seminar along with the Intellectual Property Law Association.
ESLS also passes along information to all membership on other opportunities in the field and works closely with the [http://law.shu.edu/Students/academics/index.cfm?id=296#614 Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law] to plan events and gain contacts.
Sports & Entertainment Law Symposium
In conjunction with the Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law, ESLS co-hosts an annual symposium. The symposium highlights current issues facing the industry, from players to agents to artists to audience members.
