Online Animal Law Course
Interested in taking an animal law course? Animal Rights Jurisprudence taught by Steven Wise of the Nonhuman Rights Project is available online! The next class begins on Thursday, January 4, 2021 and ends on Thursday, March 25, 2021.
Emergency Response Scholarships
The Animal Legal Defense Fund is currently accepting applications for its Emergency Response Scholarships. We recognize that law students now face unique and additional stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic, including financial stress that might increase barriers to continuing in law school. These scholarships are available to Animal Legal Defense Fund student chapter members who have shown a commitment to protecting the lives and advancing the interests of animals through their chapter and are experiencing a financial hardship due to world events. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Good luck on finals!
