Another question: are there any good resources out there where I can learn more about ad law? I'm coming out of the advertising industry, so I'm just curious about that field of law. I looked on the NALP directory web site and found some firms that practice ad law. Or should I just be reading more about communications law in general?

This is
very much a subspecialty. I know my law school didn't offer any classes on it, and I don't know any firms that advertise that as a practice area. While that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, it may as a subset of a bigger area. For instance, I have a case where two business allege that they sent in the materials and money to get their ads placed in the phone book (I represent the phone book company - Verizon) and the ads weren't in the phone book when it came out. They're claiming damages for the business they lost. That just falls into a contract dispute that's pretty basic. I would certainly advise getting a broad education - what classes you take in law school has little to no bearing to what you end up practicing most of the time.
And when you said "ad law" I thought that you were referring to administrative law, lol.
