job description
Copyright Lawyers help artists protect their creative work, whether they author books, make films, print photographs or write songs, to give a few examples. Once you pass the bar and begin practicing, you might work for a film studio, book publisher, record label, or on your own representing individual artists. You’ll draft the documents that determine who has the right to use a particular piece of property. Copyright Lawyers find themselves in the spotlight more and more, as artists’ rights on the Internet continue to be debated and explored.
