RECAP - TESLAW's Annual Meeting and CLE

Thank you to those who joined us in Dallas for the Annual TESLAW Section Meeting and CLE.

Among other items, the Council voted to retire the print version of the TESLAW Journal and, instead, deliver the Journal to TESLAW members in a digital format via e-mail.

In addition, the Section elected new officers and council members. We are exited to have D'Lesli Davis of Dallas as TESLAW's new Chair and are thankful for Alan Tompkins' great leadership over the last year.

There are few times in this life when you can be in the same room as an expert musicologist, a publishing executive who licenses the Beatles catalog, and the general counsel for the Oakland A's.  But that's exactly what TESLAW offered for CLE credit at the Annual Meeting!

Our sincere appreciation also goes out to our guest speakers: Dr. E. Michael Harrington, Ted Goldthorpe, and Steve Johnston, who not only informed and educated a full house on a Friday afternoon, but entertained us as well! Thanks, gentlemen.

Don't forget to early register for the Entertainment Law Institute in October. 

That's it for now. Have a great summer and stay tuned... Cool

About TESLAW

Welcome to TESLAW.org, the website for the State Bar of Texas Entertainment and Sports Law Section!

The Entertainment and Sports Law Section is a voluntary organization within the State Bar of Texas and consists of more than 500 licensed attorneys throughout the state who practice entertainment and sports law. Section members represent a wide variety of clients including employers, employees and entertainment and sports organizations, in both the private and public sectors.

The purpose of the Entertainment and Sports Law Section is to promote and enhance the practice of law by all lawyers who specialize or have an interest in entertainment and sports law.

Twice each year, the section publishes the Texas Entertainment and Sports Law Journal. The Journal contains a report from the Chair on current Section activities. It also contains concise summaries, with commentary by the editor, on recent Texas state and federal court decisions involving significant entertainment and sports law issues. The Section also sponsors an Annual Entertainment Law Institute, our continuing legal education program which brings together the top practitioners in the country.

The Section’s Council, officers, and members have worked hard to make the information on this site available to you, and we hope that you find it useful.  If you are a Texas lawyer who is not yet a member of the Section, we encourage you to join today and get involved in the Section’s activities.  If you are already a Section member, we sincerely appreciate your involvement and look forward to working with you to make the Section more useful and beneficial for all Texas entertainment and sports lawyers. 

Alan W. Tompkins

Chair (2008-2009)
