Check out Law of Rock and Roll (and Immigration Law) Professor Michael Olivas

Need something upbeat in these harrowing times of COVID-19?  Try The Law of Rock and Roll radio show hosted by University of Houston Law Professor and New Mexico native, Michael A. Olivas. Olivas is a leading immigration scholar as well, with his latest book on the DREAM Acts and DACA. 

The radio show explores the legal aspects of the stars’ careers, cases involving the record companies, and the business of rock and roll. Among many others, topics include noise ordinances, adhesion contracts, copyright law, back up singers, the dangers of downloading, and music by dead performers. This legal project grew out of Professor Olivas’ earlier continuing legal education programs on the subject. The feedback from the earlier presentations was so encouraging that he developed the radio series. In addition, for several years, he has maintained a growing listserv, Michael’s Rock and Roll Posse, where he comments on all things rock and roll.
