SDESL's primary purpose is to connect people in the extended San Diego region who work in, or are just interested in, the Entertainment and Sports Industries. In doing so - we Members share resources and make connections, SDESL sponsor's events and has monthly "social" gathering of Members to network, get to know your colleagues and start the flow or creative energy.
Because there are so many specialties in the entertainment & sports communities, SDESL sponsors numerous committees and subsections who may source their own speakers, events, sporting outings and educational programs.. In addition, we hope to soon offer low cost attorney MCLE to members. SDESL encourages Members to form special interest committees dedicated to their particular interests. In the past these have included Music, Sports and even the Modeling & Fashion Industry.
SDESL offers and co-sponsors educational programs for both attorneys and non-attorneys (lay) members. Many of these programs include well known speakers in the relevant industries. In the past, SDESL has offered programs including: The Basics of Music Law, Copyrights Registration Basics, Trademarks & You, Fashion Industry Contracts and various in depth programs for Attorneys and lay persons who are interested in keeping up with the latest industry and legal issues.
