The Animal Leadership Award is an award given annually, when merited, by the Center for Animal Law Studies (CALS) to one or more graduating Lewis & Clark law students who have demonstrated leadership in the animal law field and who have earned the respect of peers, faculty, and staff for advancing animal law and education. CALS is thrilled to announce that the recipients of this year’s Award are: Miranda Eisen, Conor Lamkin, and Josie Moberg. Learn about each of them and their animal protection work and future plans below.
Miranda Eisen ’22
Miranda says: “I’m grateful for the exceptional mentorship and remarkable community that has made studying animal law at Lewis & Clark one of the most enriching, meaningful experiences of my life. I’m inspired by the incredible advocates who I’ve had the privilege of learning from, and am eager to join the greater animal law community after graduation.”
Conor Lamkin ’22
Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, Conor chose Lewis & Clark Law School specifically for its renowned animal law program. She currently resides in Richmond, Virginia with her partner and two rescued, senior pups. Upon graduation, she has started a position as a Policy Researcher for a new organization, Pax Fauna, which uses in-depth research to develop educational, informational, and material resources to enable local advocacy communities to seize the narrative about animal agriculture.
Conor shares that “I cannot thank the CALS faculty enough for this incredible recognition. The mentorship, knowledge, opportunities, and community CALS provided me throughout my law school experience was nothing short of incredible! Receiving this award alongside two amazing women makes me proud, humbled, and eager to continue my advocacy for non-human animals.”
Josie Moberg ’22
Josie shares that “Receiving this award is an incredible honor. CALS and its wonderful team were integral to my law school experience, and I wouldn’t have felt the community and strength that I needed to earn my JD without them. I would also like to give a special shout out to Professor Rajesh Reddy, who encouraged and supported me at every step of the way.”
