Critical Caselaw: Personhood Through the Lens of Animal Standing — December 2nd
Join Animal Law Program Director Stacey Gordon Sterling for a discussion of how courts review the legal status of animals in the context of animal standing cases. The discussion will focus on two cases, Cetacean Community v. Bush, and Naruto v. Slater, but will also examine the larger context of animal personhood. A brief Q&A to follow.
Year End Impact Report 2020 — December 9th
As 2020 comes to an end, we’re looking back at our biggest legal victories for animals over the last year and looking ahead at what’s to come in 2021. Join Stephen Wells, executive director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, as he shares stories behind this year’s biggest victories. Stephen will be answering questions from the audience throughout. Join us live for a chance to win Animal Legal Defense Fund merchandise!
Vindicating Pierson v. Post’s ‘Saucy Intruder’: Of Wildlife Crimes & Crimes Against Wildlife — December 16th
Join David Rosengard, Animal Legal Defense Fund senior staff attorney, for a discussion regarding wildlife crimes, crimes against wildlife — and the subtle but significant difference between the two.
Beginning with a look at the venerable history of wildlife law, we will explore how traditional approaches fail to account for the experience of the animals themselves, as well as the fundamental nature of animal cruelty laws. As we search for answers, we discover that justice — and raison d’être of modern cruelty statutes — call for the law to be deployed in order to shield wildlife from unlawful suffering at human hands.

Animal Victims and Restorative Justice
Restorative justice is not a new concept, but it largely has not been applied in animal crimes. In this webinar, Brittany Hill, Criminal Justice Program Fellow, introduces the audience to restorative justice, provides a general overview of the theories behind it, discusses its potential impact on animal victims, and explores its possibilities in crimes against animals.
I hope you can join us!
