Third-year student Jonathan Morris is the first-ever winner of the national Student Animal Legal Defense Fund (SALDF) essay contest . Participants were asked to answer the question “How can we best protect wild animals in light of urban expansion and population growth?”
Jonathan’s essay titled Time to Grow Up: Vertical Farming as a Potential Solution to Wildlife Issues in the United States , combines topics that address his interests in both animal and environmental law.
The prize for winning the contest was two free tickets to the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Cruise for a Cause in Los Angeles, and a travel stipend to help him and his guest attend.
Jonathan is an active member of the Lewis & Clark SALDF chapter. He is currently doing an externship with the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and has clerked for its Litigation and Animal Law Programs. In addition, Jonathan is a recipient of the 2016 Animal Legal Defense Fund Advancement of Animal Law Scholarship .
