Professional Programming
Throughout the day on Thursday, October 6, attendees can choose from eleven, one-hour sessions beginning at 10:30 AM at the Javits Center. Do arrive early to allow yourself time to become familiar with the Javits Center. If you’re able to pick up your badge at the Javits Center in advance, it will make your morning much smoother.
For eligible NY State educators, CTLE credit is available for all eleven of these sessions.
To earn CTLE credit for a panel, you must be present during the entire one-hour session and complete a session evaluation survey at the end of each session. Only individuals who complete the survey will receive the CTLE certificates.

Programs for Legal Professionals Available
The past few years have affected the comic-book and related industries in profound ways. From the impact of paper shortages and embargoes on printers other the one hand, to the continued proliferation of comic book IP across the media landscape. In between we’ve had the rise (and fall?) of NFTs, the first AI-generated comic, and significant royalty disputes, and an increased emphasis on the diverse voices of creators.
Why not learn the fundamentals of this growing practice area? These CLE programs provide attendees a chance to learn from legal practitioners and former comic book publishing executives.
NYCC welcomes legal professionals for our exciting Continuing Legal Education courses.
Session #1 - Thursday Oct 6, 2022
Hero-At-Law: The Law and Practice of Representing Comic Book Creators and Publishers
This seminar has been approved for 3.5 CLE* credits in areas of professional practice for NY and 3.5 General credits in NJ.
In this first course, we present an overview of the comic book industry over the past two years, highlight new areas of litigation and transactional work, and provide the fundamentals of representing comic book industry clients. We will explore the pros and cons of NFTs, IP and AI-generated works, and myriad new cases impacting the comic book and graphic novel publishers and the attorneys who represent them.
Session #2 – Sunday Oct 9, 2022
Drafting Comic Book Contracts: A Practical Guide
This seminar has been approved for 2.5 CLE* credits in areas of professional practice for NY and 2.5 General credits in NJ.
This is an intensive two-hour course: attendees will write a rough draft of key comic book agreement provisions, engage in client interview exercises tailored to the comic book industry, dive into mock negotiations, and issue-spot common problems in publishing contracts. Facilitated by seasoned comic book publishing attorneys, attendees will get a chance to issue-spot, draft, and engage in mock negotiations.
