Legal Issues in Museum Administration 2022- Part 5

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, this year's Legal Issues in Museum Administration conference will both reflect on how museum lawyering has evolved and look to its future. Featured sessions include instruction on this year’s most important legal issues, including: • Fair Use Laws: Legal and Practical Implications - Overview of recent fair use cases and their implications for museums - Fair use in an increasingly digital world - Best practices for museums in using and licensing protected material • What's New in Restitution and Repatriation - Museums and other collecting institutions are increasingly wrestling with questions of ethical returns and repatriation, including cases decided by the Supreme Court, questions related to the return of African-American human remains, the widening trend of returning Benin Bronzes to Nigeria, repatriation efforts by Native American tribes, and issues related to the Army's significant artifact collection.
