The event is a key networking opportunity, with participants representing a myriad of top law firms and Fortune 500 companies. We’ll unveil our new Friends of LatinoJustice PRLDEF Facebook page, marking a new milestone in our outreach strategy.

eLLblog is happy to announce that we are the official blog for the upcoming Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal Symposium as they feature a discussion of the legal implications of Tiger Woods’ widely publicized recent behavior.  As you may recall, it was electronically stored information (text messages) which ultimately led to Woods’ current troubles.  This upcoming event is particularly relevant, given the press conference Woods held this morning.

From the official flyer:

Tiger Woods’ abrupt and unexpected freefall from golf heaven and his subsequent precipitous fall down the endorsement deal mountain both force the media and law spotlight on to the uncertain and turbulent future of endorsement deals, morals clauses, and reverse-morals clauses.

Join the Symposium speakers and guests who will critically evaluate this “Tiger Woods Effect” on the billion-dollar endorsement deal industry.

Among the Featured Panelists:

Fernando Pinguelo (moderator): Partner, Norris McLaughlin & Marcus and Co-Chair of its Entertainment Law Group

Michael McCann (keynote speaker): Legal Analyst, Sports Illustrated; Associate Professor of Law, Vermont Law School

Dorothy Crenshaw PR/Brand Strategist; CEO, Creative Director, Crenshaw Communications

Evelyn M. Tollinche Senior Counsel, Business & Legal Affairs Group, MTV Networks

Tuesday, February 2, 2010.  Another cold February weekday workday morning.  Another noisy, bumpy, spill-my-coffee-on-my-newspaper-every-two-minutes train to the city.  I looked around me, and observed the others commuting from Newark to midtown Manhattan, beginning their daze days with the lethargy one might associate with a Jets fan circa last Monday.

But not me.  This was day two of LegalTech New York 2010, and I was on my way to this premier legal technology showcase sponsored by ALM.  Given how great my experiences were last year, I was amped up and ready to go.  So, with my coffee down and chin up, I grabbed the B line and took to the Hilton New York.
