Animal Law & Environmental Law: Parallels & Synergies

Please join us in-person at American University, Washington College of Law for a discussion Professor Randall S. Abate, Assistant Dean of Environmental Studies at George Washington University Law School. In What Can Animal Law Learn From Environmental Law? (Environmental Law Institute Press, 2d ed., 2020), Professor Abate has assembled an experienced team of 36 academics, advocates, and legal professionals from the environmental and animal law fields to examine the experiences of these two fields. This presentation will first address some of the key themes of the book’s coverage. It will then provide case studies from the book’s chapters to illustrate how animal law can learn from environmental law and how the two fields can work together to secure mutual gains.
