Animal Rights Law

Two-Week Intensive: July 1 - July 14, 9am to noon

Study of nonhuman animals’ current legal protections, the problem of obtaining standing, as well as sources and characteristics of fundamental rights—why humans are entitled to them, why nonhumans are denied them, whether they should be limited to humans and, if not, what rights should nonhuman animals be entitled to under common law.

Professor Steven M. Wise, Center for the Expansion of Fundamental Right, 2 semester hours.
