Negotiations for Literary or Media Rights Self-Quiz
A rather infamous
television personality and ballyhooed composer of New Age music, Jack
Tesch, ends up embroiled in a murder fiasco. Tesch is accused by the state
of having strung up his manager with piano wire and forcing him to eat
eighteen and a half pounds of duck liver pate prior to his death. The
public is up in arms, demanding Tesch’s own execution by lethal
injection. Tesch is an old client of yours, and you are the first person
he called when he was arrested. Of course, you expect a tremendous amount
of publicity. You and Tesch figure you might as well milk the cow. You
could use some extra cash. So the two of you agree that you will write
a book on your experiences as his defense lawyer, and compensate him with
a percentage of the profits. Are you subject to discipline?

he called when he was arrested. You duly represent Tesch in his murder
defense, but unfortunately, you are unsuccessful, and the public gets
what it wants – a decree of lethal injection against Tesch. He exhausts
his appeals, and is condemned to die. The case ends on a sad note for
you and your client, as you have grown closer during the tumult. You and
Tesch figure you might as well make the most of the situation, so the
two of you agree that you will write a book on your experiences as his
defense lawyer, and compensate his estate with a percentage of the profits.
