With students enjoying their break and binge-watching their favourite shows, movies, and online content, it’s easy to forget that every storyline, soundtrack, character, and camera shot is protected by laws working behind the scenes. As we wrap up the year and settle in for some well-deserved screen time, we’re taking a closer look at the legal world that keeps the entertainment industry running.

Entertainment law is where creativity meets clauses, and the limelight meets litigation. However, not everything is as glamorous as it sounds. In this episode of Lady Justice Talks, we are joined by Samantha Glass, law professor, paralegal, and Master of Laws candidate, to peel back the curtain of entertainment law.

Samantha takes us on an eventful journey of how she discovered her passion for entertainment law, the ins and outs of the industry, and the unique challenges entertainment law professionals are facing today. In the era of streaming platforms and AI-generated media, we examine the impact of rapid changes on entertainment law and how professionals and legislation are responding to them.

Listen in as Samantha demystifies the role of paralegals in the world of law, an often overlooked and underestimated sector of law. Samantha also compares and contrasts the United Kingdom and Canada’s approaches to teaching law and how her law teaching experience shapes her practice today.

This episode proves that in entertainment law, the fine print is where the real drama lives. Tune in as we break it down!
