Nigel Lythgoe, Executive Producer of American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance? 		 Los Angeles is the center of the entertainment industry, and, recognizing our unique academic capacity to offer a specialized curriculum in that arena, the UCLA School of Law has created the Entertainment and Media Law and Policy Program for both upper-division J.D. and graduate LL.M. candidates. The Program is one of the most comprehensive, advanced and innovative approaches to the study of entertainment and media law in the country. Students who fulfill the Program’s requirements will have a solid grounding in the law, custom, theory and policy attendant to the practice of law in the motion picture, television, music and other industries involved in creative and artistic matters. The Program will also serve to prepare students who may choose to work in non-profit institutions, government, or academia in the area of entertainment and media law and policy.

Formal participation in the Program’s curriculum commences in the second year of law school. To declare your interest in fulfilling the below curricular requirements, please complete the Declaration Form and submit it to the Records Office. Formal declaration is not required except for registration preference in limited-enrollment Program courses (subject to approval of the respective professor), and for final reflection of having completed the Program on the student transcript and diploma. For any further questions, please contact David R. Ginsburg, the Executive Director of the Program, at (310) 794-4493.
