Jennifer FriedmanCanada's Animal Lawyer
Animal Law is now recognized as an important and evolving area of practice as companion animals become subject to custody disputes, and service providers - including animal welfare and entertainment venues - face litigation challenges or legislative changes to their activities. While many North American law schools begin to carve out academic and research space for this developing area, our half-day program helps you to get a handle on the key issues involved:
- Learn about the intersection of animal law with other areas of legal practice
- Evaluate the distinctions between sentient beings vs. other inanimate forms of property
- Find out about recent case law in respect to this emerging area of law
