It turns out Elvis the King of Rock and Roll spawned Elvis the lawsuit — a whole lotta lawsuits. Now all those cases are helping other attorneys study the law. Legal Aid of East Tennessee is sponsoring a continuing education session in Chattanooga on Tuesday billed as "Elvis Law. The state and federal cases dealing with the late king of rock 'n' roll."

Lawyers attending will get three hours toward a required 15 hours of continuing education each year. Topics will include ownership of Elvis' name, likeness and image; media access to his autopsy records; disputes over concert tickets sold before he died and other issues.
