King Of Pop’s Legal Troubles Live On

Entertainment lawyer offers ideas to preserve legacy

CT Law Tribune: July 28, 2009

By JAMES L. WALKER Jr.

A few weeks ago the world mourned the loss of pop icon Michael Jackson.

Jackson left a substantial music catalogue and a substantial number of legal battles.

According to his 2002 will, Jackson was worth more than $500 million. In death, I would estimate that the catalogue value explodes to nearly $2 billion with the increased demand. However, as an entertainment lawyer, I can tell you that where there is money, a legal battle will follow.

Recently, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Jackson’s close associates, John Branca and John McClain, are the temporary administrators until Aug. 3. Before the ruling, Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, controlled his assets. She argued that Branca was out of Jackson’s life this past year. But, Branca told the court that Jackson rehired him before the King of Pop died.

Entertainment and real estate lawyer, James L. Walker Jr., has been asked by CNN to become a writer and blogger for the network. Attorney Walker has worked with CNN numerous times as a regular contributor for the news network, appearing on various shows that the network airs.

“It’s such an honor to be asked to blog and write for CNN,” said Walker.

Walker has, most notably, and among other shows and stations, appeared on Lou Dobbs Tonight, Campbell Brown, and CNN Headline News.

Due to his experience with writing, attorney Walker will have no trouble assimilating to blogging, as his eloquence will continue past cameras and onto the blogosphere. Walker is the author of the "all-to" music guide, "This Business of Urban Music," as well as numerous entertainment law-related articles.
