The course is titled "Elvis Law: The State and Federal cases dealing with the late King of Rock 'n' Roll" and will cover the legal aspects of Elvis' career and estate administration.
It is expected that most of the participants in the course are Tennessee-based attorneys, who will use the three-hour class towards the 15 hours of continuing education they must pursue each year.
They will learn about the use of Presley's name and likeness, access to Presley's public records and disputes of concert tickets sold for dates scheduled after his death.

“Elvis was fascinating,”
said Russell Fowler, the group’s associate director who will lead the presentation.
“He was not litigious, never sued anybody. He’d fire someone and then give them $50,000 to be nice. But when he died, litigation sprang from everywhere.”
Elvis avoided courts, but his heirs sure didn't!
“We’re amazed at how many different type cases there were,” Fowler said. “This relates to his popularity and fame.”
What do you think of the new Course of Elvis Law?
