Technology & Entertainment Law Program
Technology and Entertainment Law has become one of the most vibrant and challenging areas of today’s legal profession. Emerging technologies have transformed and expanded the roles that intellectual property, communications networks and content play in our lives. As information has become increasingly global, attorneys must be familiar with an increasingly broad array of legal regimes. Clients need lawyers who are well prepared to help them navigate this rapidly changing environment. Vanderbilt’s Technology and Entertainment Law Program (TELP) is designed to prepare Vanderbilt law graduates to meet this challenge. The program affords students the opportunity to study with world-class scholars and practitioners, intellectual property and copyright expert Daniel Gervais and internet law expert Steven Hetcher, who address legal issues relating to technology and entertainment law in their teaching, research and practice, and MIchael Bressman, who teaches the Intellectual Property and the Arts clinic. The program's adjunct faculty includes Judge Kent A. Jordan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, as well as two leading practitioners based in the Nashvile area, Michael Milom, Robin Mitchell Joyce, Chris Horsnell and Mark Patterson. Nashville is also home to numerous record labels, television networks, instrument manufacturers, and three leading performance rights licensing organizations, BMI, ASCAP and SESAC. The Technology & Entertainment Law Program coordinates with noted practitioners to provide fellowships and externship opportunities to students interested in studying technology, intellectual property and entertainment law.
