  • Animal Law Subject Proposal
    April 2006 ANIMAL LAW SUBJECT PROPOSAL Background Until recently, Animal Law has been overlooked by Australian law schools in determining their curricula. It is not, however, a ‘novel’ concept. In the United States sixty law schools teach Animal Law, including Harvard. In that jurisdiction Animal Law is not only a highly developed area of jurisprudence (e.g. a google search on ‘animal law’ returns approximately 116,000,000 hits; there is a dedicated Institute of Animal Law, Animal Law journals and specialist Animal Law firms) – but it also has a great deal of practical significance. By way of example of the practical significance of Animal Law, and how Animal Law can be utilised by lawyers, consider the work undertaken by the US organization, the Animal Legal Defence Fund (‘ALDF’). This was established in 1979 and has more than 100,000 dedicated lawyer members who apply their skills in a number of ways in order to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. For instance, the ‘Litigation Program’ files cutting-edge lawsuits to stop the abuse of companion animals, and animals abused in industries including factory farming and the entertainment business; while the ‘Criminal Justice Program’ works with law enforcement and prosecutors to seek maximum penalties for animal abusers. ALDF has also been at the forefront of law reform in respect of stronger enforcement of anti-cruelty laws and more humane treatment of animals. In addition to the above work, those with skills and knowledge in the area of Animal Law could also apply it to work in other specific areas of law, e.g.
