WLA Legal Advice Week (LAW)
A special, STATEWIDE legal telephone clinic
October 26-30
WLA is pleased to announce WLA Legal Advice Week (“WLA LAW”), a special week-long pro bono telephone clinic offering artists and arts professionals statewide 30 minutes of free legal advice.
WLA LAW will be held during the week of October 26-30 and is open to artists and arts organizations throughout Washington State. Legal issues must relate to an artistic discipline but can cover a wide range of areas such as copyright, trademark, publicity rights, licensing, fair use, business formation, and contract review. Issues involving patent law, employment law, family law, criminal law, and tax law are not appropriate for WLA LAW. Availability may be limited based on the type of legal issue and the expertise of the participating attorneys. Please contact WLA for more information.
