Representing
celebrity
clients
is
likely
to
catapult
your
name
into
the
news
and
turn
your
business
into
a
household
topic
of
conversation.
Maybe
that’s
one
of
the
many
reasons
why
you’re
so
interested
in
pursuing
a
career
in
entertainment
law.
Attorneys
who
practice
in
the
field
of
entertainment
law
have
worked
with
some
of
the
most
celebrated
—
and
sometimes
reviled
—
clients
in
the
country
(or
the
world),
and
that’s
exactly
the
kind
of
career
experience
you
envision
for
yourself.
The National
Jurist’s
preLaw
magazine recently
released
its
specialty
ranking
of
the
best
law
schools
for
entertainment
law
on
its
Entertainment
Law
Honor
Roll,
highlighting
schools
for
the
strength
of
their
programs.
Here’s
the
methodology
that
was
used:
preLaw
magazine
grades
law
schools
based
on
the
breadth
of
their
curricular
offerings.
The
scores
are
figured
as
follows:
30%
for
a
concentration,
24%
for
a
clinic,
12%
for
a
center,
12%
for
an
externship,
9%
for
a
journal,
8%
for
a
student
group,
5%
for
a
certificate
and
added
value
for
additional
offerings.
Without
further
ado,
according
to
preLaw
magazine,
these
are
the
law
schools
that
earned
A+,
A,

for
