Art Levine Honored by the Association of Media & Entertainment Counsel

On Friday, January 13, Legal Studies of Business Professor Art Levine was presented with a 2011 Public Service Counsel of the year Award by the Association of Media & Entertainment Counsel at its 7th Annual Counsel of the Year Awards Luncheon. Formed in late 2005, AMEC is designed to support the career development and honor the achievements of in-house counsel and business affairs attorneys at major entertainment and media companies.

Nominated by AMEC co-founder and Cal State Long Beach alumnus Arnold Peter, Art received the award for his long-standing work with our Law Society. The Law Society was founded in September 1975 to provide pre-law students with the information they need to make an intelligent choice about law schools as well as to generally stimulate an interest in law on campus. Mr. Peter nominated Art, in addition to his Law Society work, because of the impact that Art’s teaching had on Mr. Peter.  Congratulations, Professor Levine!
