21st Entertainment Law Initiative

The Recording Academy, in concert with some of the nation’s most prominent entertainment attorneys, established the Entertainment Law Initiative to promote discussion and debate about the most compelling legal issues facing the music industry today. Now in its 21st year, the program has grown to include a national writing competition, mentor sessions, and a GRAMMY Week event.
