Due to the overwhelming response to last year’s practicum, we’re bringing it back for a second year with new exercises and new hypotheticals!
This second CLE workshop teaches practice skills in comic book legal practice. The information taught the previous day is incorporated into a hands-on negotiation and drafting practicum, featuring breakout groups and in-class short drafting assignments.
This two-hour intensive will do a deep-dive into the three agreements every lawyer must know when representing a comic book creator: the artist services agreement, the comic book publishing agreement, and the motion picture option/purchase agreement. Facilitated by seasoned comic book publishing attorneys, attendees will get a chance to issue-spot, draft, and engage in mock negotiations.
Those attending Saturday’s workshop will have a short assignment to complete prior to the start of the class.
Some of the Issues explored in this second CLE:
• Issue spotting for the comic book creator client
• Writer artist collaboration agreements
• Negotiating a publishing agreement
• Negotiation and drafting of the motion picture option/purchase agreement
• Q&A
