Symposium
Every year, Animal Law Review hosts a symposium featuring thoughtful discussions on various topics in animal law. Visit this page for updates on our symposium speakers, format, and schedule.
Save the Date: Join us on Friday, March 5, 2026 for our our 16th annual Symposium.
This year’s ALR symposium invites animal advocates, legal scholars, practitioners, and other experts to learn about the emerging field of aquatic animal law. The program will highlight how advocates are working to protect aquatic animals kept in captivity, prevent industry harm to ESA-listed salmon and steelhead, raise awareness about the hidden cruelties of the commercial fishing industry, and more. By highlighting the complex, interdisciplinary work of aquatic animal advocates, this symposium will explore the limitations of existing legal frameworks and opportunities for developing more effective approaches to protecting the interests and welfare of aquatic animals.
Parking
Parking is available from 7am to 7pm with the purchase of a Day Pass. Parking is allowed at the law school, and we highly encourage carpooling to our events. If the law school lot is full, we suggest parking in the Upper Griswold or Lower Griswold parking lot at the college campus (just a few minutes walk to the law school). For those unfamiliar with the campus, you can access a full campus map here.
