NOTICE: DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN POSTPONED. IT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17 FROM 6:00 - 7:30 PM PST. A RECORDING WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY.


When do I need to get permission to make a film about a subject? What is the right of publicity, and is that different from life story rights or likeness rights? What kinds of releases do I need to get? UC Irvine Law School professor Jack I. Lerner will join us to address all of these questions, and more. He will talk about the legal and ethical considerations of obtaining life story rights from real people, discuss the legal doctrines that govern these relationships, and the industry norms that shape them. He will also go over the basic components of a life story rights agreement. This event will be suitable both for non-lawyers and for lawyers who want to learn more..

MCLE Available!
For attorneys interested in 1.5 MCLE Credit Hours, select the MCLE pricing option at checkout.
