JIPEL was first published by NYU's Intellectual Property
and Entertainment Law Society in 2009 as the IP and Entertainment Law Ledger, before being
spun off as an independent journal in 2011.[1] It features
articles and essays on legal topics by practitioners and academics, as well as notes, case comments, and book annotations
written by journal members.
JIPEL publishes two issues per year on diverse topics in intellectual property and entertainment
law. Past articles have been cited in criminal cases[2] and Supreme Court filings.[3] It was recognized both in and out of legal circles in 2020 for publishing a legal article co-authored by the rapper Pitbull.[4]
