im a soon to be college freshman you aspires to be an entertainment lawyer.. but im having a hard time determing what major i should choose.. i was wondering if u could give me some guidance.. please!!!.. lol.. i have spoken to many individuals in the music field and i have yet to recieve any helpful information

@prepgurlkrys I suggest you focus on courses that develop your writing skills and critical thinking because that is pretty much what law school is in a nutshell. Don't focus on the "entertainment" aspect...you have to become an attorney first.

fuck the major labels do ya own thing

you read the contract, you have an entertainment attorney go through it with you, and I'd assume you either take it or dont and keep looking for the label that's right for you..

Some law schools will accept any major, however some are given first priority because they are known to prepare you with high quality writing and analyzing skills. Ie: English, History, Poly Sci, and I would say #1 Philosophy. Not saying comm majors are not qualified but your major is a reflection of how well equipped you are to handle the high academic expectations of law school.

What courses, outside of Contract Law, should I take prior to graduating from lawschool? I already have a network of talented musicians, film directors, and athletes at my disposal, but what I want to do is acquire the requisite knowledge and expertise to represent anyone in the Sports and Entertainment field. Please advise. Thank you!

Insightful vid. One thing I have noticed though is that many artists that start on relatively smaller labels almost always seem to switch to one of the big four (Universal, EMI, etc.) eventually. Could this be because major labels offer favorable deals to artists that have already become somewhat known while with smaller labels?
