Drag Law: Werk the Law

Presented by the Associate Board

The courtroom meets the catwalk on September 30th (6–8 PM) at Charlie’s Chicago, as Lawyers for the Creative Arts invites you to Drag Law.  Hosts Coco Sho-Nell and Luc Ami  guide us through a dazzling mix of drag performance and practical legal insight.

Between showstopping numbers, we’ll break down the laws that shape artistic expression in drag and burlesque—covering everything from contracts and parodies to rights of publicity and performer protections. Whether you’re a lawyer, an artist, or an ally, this program promises to keep you informed, entertained, and empowered.

Because let’s be honest: Legal Issues Never Looked This Good.

This event is open to those 21+
