athomewithkyle Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Does anyone know if you need to go to the same type of law school as a lawyer if you want to pursue a job in the music law field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yeah, law school is law school, at least in the beginning. You would intern, etc. in different establishments later in your education, but the basic stuff is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, hopefully I can find something like that because I want to be a music producer but i'd also like to do some stuff in music law on the side.

Five Towns? Hofstra? Long Island University? Stonybrook? Also with Berklee, I think you need to be a musician to get into there, and sadly I only mess around with the drums. I'll have to check out University of Hartford. Do you know of any in Florida, Chicago, California, or NYC? Since those are the main areas that I'm looking to attend school.

oakland Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I think it's the University of Colorado -- Denver campus, but one of the local colleges here has a rad music production program. But by all means go for it. And don't let the DIY vs. mainstream thing get you down. On a basic level it's all the same. It's what happens once you know what you're doing that matters -- what you do with your education. That said, if I ever find out you're some big time major label A&R asshole that fucks over little bands I'll hunt you down and kick your ass.

So hopefully I want go to school for audio production, but instead go for a business degree. I don't know yet. Also, I don't want to be an A&R, so luckily I don't have to worry about you kicking my ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneonta also has an amazing program if i recall correctly. but this is like 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's not a college, it's more so a trade school. Also I don't think I'll need to take classes for it if this producer is teaching me.

ericheartsu Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 i meant to say five towns not full sail. 2 of my really good friends went to full sail, they went for live sound but learned alot about recording (mixing, mastering, and production) as well. you are correct in saying its a trade school, but its tottally worth it if you have the money and the commitment.

Yea, Five Towns College is like 20 minutes away from me. I've been there before and I don't like it. I don't have the money for Full Sail, so there goes that haha. I'll probably go to a University since those are the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest conoley Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I am really bummed that the law school I go to has no entertainment law program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athomewithkyle Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Keep the school names coming. This is my year to go visit schools, so I'm making a list. I'm mainly looking for a school that has a good law and business program and is in Florida, Chicago, California, Boston, Texas, or around NYC.

xunspokenliesx Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'm actually pursuing this at the moment. I go to University of San Francisco School of Law and am in my second year. There are a lot of schools at have entertainment law programs. I'm studying Intellectual Property/Entertainment law. When looking at schools just take a look at what certificates the school offers.

kurtmanner Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I was looking to go into food and beverage law, but decided against it for knowing I'm not passionate enough to make it through the law schooling. It would have been fun, but oh well, maybe someday. Anyways, my point is, I figure this is a similar situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My wife is an attorney. She would say that while the first year is pretty much routine, you should not just go to ANY school for entertainment stuff. Go to a school where the profs are connected and respected in the biz. It used to be that the best of way guaranteeing this would be to go to school in LA or NYC but I think this is no longer the case. Even if you don't go work for the (capital I) Industry, you still want to be at a place where all the Big Boy Firms recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
