Students will assist volunteer attorneys in providing free legal advice on arts-related legal matters to low-income artists, musicians, and filmmakers. Topics discussed may include copyright, trademark, contract, and any other legal issue related to the arts. Students will assist artists in completing intake paperwork and clarifying the legal issue for which artists need advice.
