Seton Hall Entertainment and Sports Law Society announces plans for Fall 2010

After crowning its new Executive Board in April, 2010, the Seton Hall Entertainment and Sports Law Society has announced its plans for the Fall 2010 Semester, including a reprise of its sold-out event from 2009, "Breaking Into Sports and Entertainment Law". Details for the events follow below:

August 25, 2010- General Meeting- The first meeting of the semester will take place on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 4:00pm in the Large Moot Court Room of Seton Hall Law School. Refreshments will be provided and programs for the semester will be highlighted, along with externship opportunities available to students and information about the entertainment concentration currently offered. This is a great opportunity for all students, especially 1Ls, to get involved with the organization right from the start. Elections for Student Bar Association Representatives will be conducted at the meeting.

September 9, 2010- Pre-Game NFL Kick-Off Party- After the wildly successful event in 2009, the NFL Kick Off party will re-emerge in 2010 as the Minnesota Vikings take on the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints. The event will take place from 7:30-11:00pm at Port 44 Brew Pub on Commerce Street in Newark, NJ. The event will include raffles for sports and entertainment giveaways and special appearances throughout the night.

November 3, 2010- Breaking Into Sports and Entertainment Law- The best way to describe this event is to come out and say it... NOT YOUR TYPICAL NETWORKING EVENT. After a sold-out, standing room only crowd raved about the event last year, Seton Hall's ESLS is bringing back the event that you asked for. Featuring a very intimate format that allows for students to sit amongst the movers and shakers of the entertainment and sports industries, the event is designed for maximum student interaction. Rather than recite prepared speeches or tell life stories, our distinguished guests come to the event having engaged in no preparation. The students are required to submit a series of questions that they can ask to the speakers in a free-flow format, with moderation taking place only to kick off the event. This allows the students to get personal time with each speaker and to ask the questions that they are most curious about. And, as expected, most students are most curious about how the speakers ended up in their current positions, what they do on a day to day basis, and suggested "yellow brick roads" to follow post-graduation from law school. The event is sports business casual and attendance is on a strick first-come, first-served reservation basis, pending proper submission of required materials. Seton Hall welcomes alumni attendees and any interested persons from other law schools.

The Executive Board at Seton Hall Law School welcomes the chance to interact with you later this fall! All inquiries can be directed at SHUlawESLS@gmail.com.
