Find a recent case (decided within the last 5 years) in which an entertainment dispute was litigated and decided upon by the court. The case must have been concluded. Judges explain the case facts and their legal rulings in the opinions that they publish. You can start your search with a general internet search. For your essay:
- Detail (in one short paragraph) the primary facts giving rise to the dispute between the parties;
- Relay (in one short paragraph) the outcome of the case and the legal rationale/explanation for that outcome.
- Most importantly: Discuss lessons that the entertainment professional can take from the case. Highlight concrete steps that either or both parties could have taken to prevent the dispute from arising to begin with.
