ABA 2008: The Practice of Entertainment Law, Past, Present & Future – The History of Entertainment LawIn this segment of a plenary session of the American Bar Assocation’s 2008 Entertainment & Sports Forum, focusing on the past, present and future of entertainment law, the panelists discuss how the industry worked when they first began their careers - whether the work has become more or less specialized over time, what they did with their day, how they attracted clients, how big entertainment firms were then, how to help clients today navigate thorny issues of rights, how to help them cross-collateralize their work, and, most of all, what “entertainment law” as a concept even means today.
