LAW 6382 - Animal Law
Credits: 3
Introduces the field of animal law, a dynamic and emerging area of the law. Not an animal rights course. Surveys the historical origins of the legal status of animals and examines the common law and statutory foundations upon which it operates. Also, traditional legal disciplines such as constitutional law, contracts, and torts through the lens of animal interests. Explores the often-controversial moral, ethical, and public policy considerations faced when balancing the legal interests of humans and nonhumans. Covers current laws affecting animals at the local, state, and federal levels.
