Protecting Animals
Even as society increasingly recognizes animals as sentient beings, the laws determining their treatment continue to vary radically. Ensuring the protection of all animals is at the heart of our Animal Law Program at the Center for Animal Law Studies. Our alumni and faculty are thought leaders, and our animal law clinics are involved in changing law and policy.

Even as society increasingly recognizes animals as sentient beings, the laws determining their treatment continue to vary radically. Ensuring the protection of all animals is at the heart of our Animal Law Program at the Center for Animal Law Studies.
We are committed to training the next generation of animal law attorneys and advancing animal protection in the United States and around the world.
The following stories illustrate our work this year—and how donors are critical to these efforts.
