Georgia State Law students will have the opportunity to study the career of Kandi Burruss this fall.

The singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, and star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta will have her career dissected by future law students who are preparing themselves for Georgia’s growing entertainment industry.

The course will be taught by attorney and media personality, Mo Ivory.

“The Legal Life of Kandi” is the second in the series which started last fall with “The Legal Life of Ludacris.”

“I chose Kandi because she has an amazing career, which spans every aspect of the entertainment industry from music, television and live performance to licensing, apparel, and more,” Ivory told the Georgia State University news hub.

“I wanted to study a woman this time around, and having worked with Kandi in the past, I knew she was the perfect choice. She handles her business and it shows with her success, but all the while she’s completely approachable and willing to share her lessons learned. I couldn’t be happier for my students to learn the law through Kandi’s career.”

Burruss has opened several businesses including a restaurant run by her mother and aunts, Old Lady Gang. She recently won The Masked Singer, competition on Fox.

“I am honored to be part of this year’s curriculum at Georgia State University College of Law,” Burruss said.

“Attorneys are among the most important members of your team. It’s imperative you have the right lawyers around you to assist in making the best decisions. Every contract you sign is building towards your overall dreams and goals. I’m excited to see the students get a first-hand look into some of the contracts that have shaped my career thus far.”

Students will be guided through deals and contracts that have been key to Burruss’ career. They will also have the opportunity to hear from guest speakers including her mother, manager, and attorneys.
