Web Resources
Center for Animal Law Studies Lectures,
Faculty lectures from the Lewis & Clark Center for Animal Law Studie that cover a variety of animal law issues. The lectures are available for viewing free of charge. I would also recommend adding a link to the Center’s “News” page, since it is updated frequently and would be a great place for someone looking for commentary on the latest in animal law issues.
