Description
Animal welfare, pet trusts, veterinary malpractice, endangered species, divorce pet custody disputes, the animal cruelty/violence against humans link, and animal legal standing are but a few of the issues that will be discussed as we examine legal issues from constitutional law to torts to contracts to wills and trusts, and much more. This is not a course in animal rights, but rather an in-depth survey of a burgeoning and dynamic field of law, of which animal rights is but a part. This course will encourage students to creatively apply existing legal doctrine and to craft new legal approaches to the rapidly developing field of animal law.
