I am a college student taking a legal introduction (very basic) course. My assignment is to contact three separate attorneys specializing in three different types concentrations (in my case I have chosen if you are wondering: medical, media/entertainment and criminal) and ask them three to six questions and ask for a short case study. I have already located locally two attorneys for the criminal and medical but due to my location I am unable to find an entertainment attorney. I thank you in advance for your time and knowledge. Please let me know I can use your name, practice and state location. Feel free to answer any of three or all. Thank you so much for your help.

1.After law school, how much training, education and certification are needed in your state for an entertainment attorney?

2.What classes should I take in college minus the law school requirements for better prepare for entertainment law?

3.What does an actor�s contract include usually?

4.What can happen in a range from mild to severe if a contract is broken?

5.What are some important entertainment laws you use on an everyday basis?

6.How much power can a studio or agent have on an actor�s life- professionally and personally?

Please send me an interesting case study. And again thank you for your time, knowledge and help in this project. Let me know how to cite you in my paper.

Thank you so very much.

Title Insurance defect discovered

Own my home w/title insurance. Later, had refinance done & purchased more title insur. I believe a lender's policy. Title was clear. Months later, found a deed. Due to the failure of lending policy title co to find this transfer deed, it cost me over $100k. I was given the refi for 100% of the asset, but only owned 50% of it. Title co failed to do research. I had no idea there was a recorded deed on my property, when my parents had me refi & made transfer to me, it caused me to be sued, because I was dealing with another entity. I would have handled it differently when I took the loan in my name, the loan officer would have gotten the other party to sign off & complete a quit claim deed, so I wouldn't have been stuck paying for the whole asset, & only own a fraction of it. I have paperwork showing the date of refi, & that they missed deed already on record & they should have seen it at the recorder's office. Even though a lender's policy, isn't this Title Co. responsible for their error, as I relied on the clear title to sign loan papers. My owner's policy, from years ago said not their issue. Refi Title Co willing to talk to me. Can lender help me?Want to know rights? as Title Co. hid or failed to disclose defect.

Foreclosure

Do you have to file for bankruptcy when you go into foreclosure? We have an original first and second purchase loan on our condo and will probably have to walk away since our lender isn't working with us. Can we just go into foreclosure without filing for bankruptcy?

Partnership fraud

I have a problem regarding a partnership fraud and I am not sure what I should do.

I have had this retail business for about a year now. Until recently I found out that my partner was stealing money from the daily sales. The reason I said that is my partner would cancel payments at the end of the day or, cancel payments a few hours after the customers paid for their stay. And that has been last for more than half a year and it's still ongoing. I have been working with the POS systems for over 10 years and I know what that means. And also he had a bad record of taking money from our business account for personal use without noticing the partners.

My question is whether I should file a lawsuit against with him, and if I do, what other additional evident do I need. what's the outcome going to be, or I should just report to some kind of government agency.

Buyer Refuses to Sign Close of Escrow Agreement

I have a vindictive buyer who will not sign this agreement. We sent it 3 days ago and the expiration period is tomorrow. Question: Can I pursue a new buyer when the time period expires without fear of them contesting any new sale? I live in Folsom California.
