This summer I am taking two classes: Entertainment Law and Defamation Privacy and Publicity. Entertainment Law is a very general overview of the business and legal side of the entertainment industry, focusing on such topics as talent contracts. Defamation, on the other hand, is a very focused class on a specific species of tort that balances individual's personal rights with constitutionally protected free speech.
It is great to finally take classes that represent my career interests specifically. While all of law school is a rhizome of overlapping and intertwining subject matter, it feels good to get a little specialization, and to apply what I have learned in other classes ( like contracts and torts) to the area of law I hope to break into in two years.
Southwestern itself is a strange atmosphere during the summer, reminding me of the lazy summer days and casual classes of the summer session of undergrad. It is a nostalgic, if ephemeral, feeling.
