Susan Scafidi, academic director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham Law, was quoted in Law360 about the impact on the fashion industry of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on copyright protection of cheerleader uniform designs.

Susan Scafidi, the director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham University School of Law and the author of an amicus brief for Varsity, called it “a clear victory for team copyright.”
