page! Founded in 1990, the Journal is dedicated to providing lawyers,
scholars and the public with a solid source of up-to-date information and
analysis of contemporary legal issues affecting the art and entertainment
community. This site is designed to familiarize anyone interested in these

- The Journal is published twice a year by the students of the
DePaul University College of Law in cooperation with the Chicago Lawyers for
the Creative Arts (LCA). LCA is the only organization in Illinois that provides
free legal assistance and educational services to artists and arts
organizations financially unable to retain legal counsel.
- The Journal addresses a wide range of legal issues involving
intellectual property, communications, contracts, constitutional law, taxation,
and insurance as they relate to music, theatre, sports, dance, literature,
architecture and the visual arts. We keep our subscribers informed through
timely lead articles, legislative updates, case notes and comments, and case
summaries. The Journal provides the law practitioner with an accurate
and succinct analysis of current legal developments.
- Our audience has grown steadily to comprise hundreds of subscribers
nationwide. The Journal's subscribers consist not only of law libraries
and art and entertainment attorneys, but also experts and enthusiasts in the
varied creative fields. Since its first publication seven years ago, the
Journal has developed into a reliable source of contemporary issues
affecting painters, sculptors, writers, poets, musicians, composers, theatre
and dance groups, orchestras, choruses and opera companies, craft groups, art
galleries, commercial artists, photographers, cartoonists, producers, and many
others.
- Private contributions and subscriptions are the core of the
Journal's financial support. The Journal needs your held to
continue serving the art and entertainment community. The Journal is a
nonprofit organization; therefore, donations above the subscription price are
tax-deductible as contributions to a charitable organization.
