The Florida Entertainment, Art, and Sports Law Society is excited to launch its LinkedIn page with this inaugural post! Florida EASLS is a student-run law school organization dedicated to the advancement of Entertainment, Art, and Sports Law programming on-campus at UF Law.
Furthermore, EASLS is an organization dedicated to serving not just the interests of law school students, but also those of interested UF faculty, sports industry stakeholders, and anyone interested in learning more about the ever-evolving fields of entertainment, art, and sports law. Through only hosting lawyers, this makes for a more incomplete discussion, which bringing on speakers from business, tech, or other related fields can help to make up for. In particular, EASLS champions the opinions of artists, creators, and other related professionals across the Arts.
EASLS also believes in taking a balanced approach to our event programming and branding, in accordance with the promotion of not just sports law, but also art law, as well as entertainment law. As a means of helping to cement this precedent, the EASLS team added the word “Art” to the organization’s name, recently hosted a Fashion/Art Law panel, recently hosted a “Women in Entertainment Law” panel, as well as a panel on the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike this past fall.
Additionally, UF EASLS values collaboration, as demonstrated through our joint events this-past year with Miami Law ESLS (Conference Realignment Panel) and Stetson Law EASL (NIL Workshop Presentation). Through collaboration between like-minded individuals, meaningful dialogue wields the capability to blossom into further opportunities between law students and related stakeholders.
Last and certainly but not least, EASLS prioritizes the creation of student-leadership opportunities for member students and beyond. By incorporating a high-level of delegation as it pertains to event implementation, such as panels, social events, etc. equipping eager member students with such opportunities not only empowers them but also seeks to provide students with critical networking and leadership experience.
