Animal Law Speaker Series

 

     The Animal Law Speaker Series, sponsored by the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, features faculty, staff, and off-campus professionals speaking on a wide variety of topics in animal law. The purpose of the Speaker Series is to introduce students to the issues affecting animals and to encourage open discussions on various animal-related concerns. The general discussion format is informal, allowing the speakers and students to interact in an intimate setting.                         

      First year students, in particular, benefit from the Speaker Series because topics help 1L’s explore various aspects of the animal law field and provide an opportunity to meet faculty and staff outside the classroom. Past topics include: “International Illegal Wildlife Trade,” “Ocean Sanctuaries,” and “Eliminating Invasive Species.” The line up for each semester changes according to the needs and interests expressed by students. All sessions are held at Lewis & Clark Law School. Bring your friends or roommate- everyone is welcome!
