WLA Legal Advice Week (LAW)
A special, state-wide legal telephone clinic
february 17-21
WLA is pleased to announce WLA Legal Advice Week (“WLA LAW”), a special week-long pro bono telephone clinic where artists and arts professionals statewide can get 30 minutes of free advice related to their legal issues.
WLA LAW will be held during the week of February 17-21 and is open to artists and arts organizations throughout Washington State. Legal issues must relate to an artistic discipline but can cover a wide range of areas such as copyright, trademark, publicity rights, licensing, fair use, business formation, and contract review. Issues involving patent law, employment law, family law, criminal law, and tax law are not appropriate for WLA LAW. Availability may be limited based on the type of legal issue and expertise of the participating attorneys. Please contact WLA for more information.
