Century City Bar Honors Two Entertainment Lawyers

Calabrese_j02561webThe Century City Bar Assn. boasts that it has more lawyers per square foot than any other geographic location, which sounds to us like a super-nerdy threat to all rival bar associations. Regardless, CCBA has announced its annual Lawyers of the Year, and two entertainment attorneys are among the five honorees.

Congrats to Joe Calabrese (left), the entertainment finance dealmaker at O'Melveny & Myers, who is Entertainment Lawyer of the Year; and to Scott Edelman, who just handled a three-week arbitration for NBC Universal against "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf and was named Litigator of the Year. 

Calabrese and Edelman (both THR Power Lawyers!) will get their tiaras and sashes at the CCBA's annual installation dinner at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on April 7.
