Arts Legal Clinics

Artists and arts professionals are welcome to make a 30-minute appointment to meet with an attorney who specializes in arts and entertainment law. They may discuss topics such as copyright or trademark and other intellectual property topics, contract review and non-profit issues.

This year, clinics will be offered in Seattle at Seattle University School of Law and the University of Washington School of Law, in Edmonds at ArtWorks, in Everett at the Arts Council of Snohomish County, and on Bainbridge Island at the Marge Williams Center. As part of WLA’s Arts Legal Clinic expansion efforts, we are also expanding to Tacoma in Q3Y10. Continue to watch this site for upcoming dates.
