2016 Kickoff Meeting Recap

Welcome to Sports and Entertainment Law Society!

For those of you who were unable to make our first meeting, this can be your one stop shop for our early semester information.

First off, give us a like on Facebook

And a follow on Twitter @ChicagoKentSELS

We will try to post all of our content that we send out on our social media pages to make it a little bit easier for everyone to get the information and to get it quickly.

Open Board Positions

If you are interested in getting more involved with the inner workings of the board and how the org works, there are a few options. We have openings on the board for Media Coordinator as well as section representatives.

The Media Coordinator will be in charge of updating our social media accounts and managing parts of the website.

Section representatives will come from each of the 4 1L sections and the other 4 upper level sections. They will be in charge of keeping fellow classmates up to date with all things SELS.

Upcoming Events

Entertainment Law Panel

  • Our board is working hard on pulling together a date and panelists to come speak about the many different legal facets of the entertainment industry.
  • If you’re interested in helping plan this event, email Rachel at rcovey1@kentlaw.iit.edu and Kate at kdrass@kentlaw.iit.edu

Monthly Speaker Series

Chicago-Area Events

  • Please keep up with our email and social pages as we have, and will continue to send out information for networking, speaking and general entertaining events revolving around sports and entertainment.

Miscellaneous

  • If you are interested in publishing articles, writing blog posts or just writing about sports or entertainment, send us an email and we can work with you to get you experience
  • We are open to anyone coming to us with ideas whether they are social outings, speaker contacts or plans to get more involved. Send an email to our org email: sels@kentlaw.iit.edu or to Max at mnovak@axialaw.com
  • Any way we can help you get to where you want to be in the legal field, we are always willing. We hope that by opening up social media and more, it’ll be easier to access us.
