Animal Law is an emerging practice area in which lawyers are searching to make sense of the laws, and dearth of laws, about animals in the context of enormous cultural shifts. Expansive in scope, Animal Law concerns people with animal-based livelihoods and attracts those who identify certain animals as family members, or who consider animals in a scientific, philosophical, spiritual, or religious context. It also stimulates lawyers who enjoy the challenge of pioneering a new and complex practice area.
These discussion series were made possible through the generous support of the University of Minnesota McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment.
