In reply to the thread on the above subject
"Art" and "Law"are usually thought of as separate fields, but the interface
"Art and Law" is a subject in its own right that may be of interest to the
artist, to the individual who owns a work of art, to the art dealer, to the
museum professional, to the lawyer, to the insurer of works of art, to the
copyright expert, to the archeologist, to the farmer on whose land etc
etc.
"Art and Law" therefore brings together many different kinds of people, all
of whom bring their own unique perspectives and specialisms. It isn't an
exclusive subject, but an inclusive one, that is what makes it so
interesting.
The Art Newspaper usually carries several very carefully researched
articles a month which relate to Art and Law, see :
http://www.theartnewspaper.com/
It therefore represents a good starting point for keeping up to date in the
subject.
If you are interested in building up your knowledge in the Art Law field,
perhaps by taking a distance learning course, then may I suggest looking at
the Institute of Art and Law web pages at:
http://www.inst-of-art-and-law.co.uk
You will also find on their Links page a large number of useful links that
relate generally in the subject which you might find useful to bookmark at:
http://www.inst-of-art-and-law.co.uk/links.htm
Various Universities also run post graduate Art and Law courses. A search
using a search engine such as Google (www.google.com) using key words Art
and Law and Universities will usually find details.
Another organisation which circulates information on Art & Law issues via
its newsletter is the Museum Security Network at:
http://www.museum-security.org
Hoping that this information will be useful.

I don't know of a specific job description that would combine law and art
in
the museum world, but certainly an understanding of copyright law would
serve you well in a museum job, particularly in researching and writing
exhibit text.
Good luck!
