| Course Description | | | This seminar will cover the substance and principles of existing law as it addresses nonhuman animals. This will include animal issues raised in the areas of criminal law, torts, property, constitutional law, contracts, wills and trusts, and various animal-focused federal statutes. Students will assess the future possibilities of using various legal concepts and tools, such as “rights,” “legal personhood,” and “standing,” to address the relationship of humans to living beings outside the human species. The seminar will address how cultural traditions affect conceptualization of legal protections and existing rights with which court systems and lawyers must deal regarding animal issues.
