What kind of an advantage would i get in the job market for entertainment law if i were to pursue a degree of this sort from the university of miami law school? let's leave debt aside and talk about job prospect advantages solely.

I think the bigger issue is that it's the U of M, rather than the details of the degree

my concern is the location. entertainment law is big in NY or Cali, I am not sure about the prospects in FL

If you go to Miami, your concern should be employment - any kind of employment

Northwestern runs a JD/Masters in Music program that has produced some notable graduates in the industry. Their music program is top notch; this is the only JD/MM program I have discovered of any repute.

I didn't think it was possible for someone to substantively address the OP and was getting ready for popcorn.gif (lol entertainment law, space law, bird law, et al) but this post is surprisingly substantive.

It doesn't though. OP's chances of getting "entertainment law" from Miami are SPS, even if he wants to work in LA or NY.

Fairly trollicious, but I'll bite.

Don't do a joint degree. Instead, work for a year or two in the industry. Instead of spending money, you'll be making money, and if you do it right, you'll have a bigger advantage come legal hiring time. Yay!

This seems like really good advice in general for people looking into joint degrees. Thanks for sharing.
