Fordham Premieres Fashion Law Center

Just in time for Fashion Week,  Fordham Law can claim the mantle of "first law school with a fashion law center."  This according to Stylelist:

Through a combination of specialized coursework, fashion-law symposium, and pro-bono legal resources, the center aims to assist designers in navigating the complicated issues of intellectual property, business, international trade, as well as government regulation issues that they encounter as they grow their businesses.

Call me a cynic, but I have two guesses about this program.  First, it will produce very, very, very few practicing fashion attorneys.  Second, it will have many, many, many interested students.  (Ask your local associate dean about your school's sports music entertainment law course.)

[Inane cynicism]

What an inane way of understanding legal education. Does the typically-required criminal law course "produce very, very, very [many] practicing [criminal law] attorneys"?
