Benefits

This teleconference will provide a very brief overview of the rapidly expanding field of animal law being practiced nationwide, and involves litigation, legislation and corporate/transactional work. Animal law has a very broad range and this teleconference will serve only as an introduction to some of the most common and popular topics. The field covers everything from companion animal issues in local communities (dog bites, dangerous dog issues, leash laws and breed specific legislation) to larger national and international issues involving the use of animals for food, clothing and biomedical research. Animal law education has also affirmatively and permanently entered the law school curriculum, with courses in over one hundred law schools. Bruce Wagman, whose practice covers a wide range of litigation and consultation, as well as teaching in multiple law schools, will provide a survey of highlighted areas and specific cases.
