For those of you who are interested, this is the list of books that William Morris (Bromberg & Sunstein) recommends! If you missed his presentation 2 weeks ago and are interested in trademarks or entertainment law, check these books anyways! Personally, i have time to read nothing but my tax code, but for those of you who have some time, check them out.
Thanks to the Entertainment Law Society here at Pierce Law that provided the list to Career Services!
