Southwestern Law School launched the Donald E. Biederman Entertainment and Media Law Institute to provide a broad-based entertainment curriculum for law students as well as information and assistance to practitioners. The Institute fosters a rich spectrum of courses on subjects ranging from music publishing and motion picture production law to technology agreements and information privacy law. The Entertainment and Media Law LL.M. Online Program takes advantage of this expertise to offer a select group of courses in a cutting-edge format to students worldwide.
The course design stems from the sophisticated functionality of the KLE Learning Management System to provide courses that preserve the interactivity of the traditional classroom while delivering the content to students where it is most convenient for them – at an office, at home, or while traveling.
Each course is organized into 15 interrelated topics called modules. Modules function as an interactive syllabus. Targeted, assigned and supplemental materials are prepared for each module topic. During the semester, students attend live online classes with their professors as they also progress at their own pace through the modules following a detailed syllabus and other guides. The modules - and the students’ progression through them – are carefully arranged in an order that sequentially and incrementally expands the scope of study.
The complete list of courses offered in Southwestern Law School's Entertainment and Media LL.M. Online program include (and are listed to the right): Copyright Law, Entertainment Law, Financing and Distributing Independent Films Law, Information Privacy Law, International & Comparative Media Law, Internet & E-Commerce Law, Mass Media Law, Motion Picture Production Law, Music Publishing Industry Law, Navigating Recording Artists Through the Entertainent Industry Law, Patent Law, Theater Law, and Video Game Law.
