The Animal Law & Policy Clinic was launched in 2019 and provides students with direct, hands-on training in legal advocacy on behalf of animals. Visiting Clinical Professor and Clinical Director Mary Hollingsworth oversees the clinic.
The Clinic works to advance the interests of animals through litigation, administrative rulemaking, policy initiatives, organizing, and similar legal advocacy avenues. Under the supervision of Clinic staff, students represent animal advocacy organizations and advocates to gain practical lawyering skills and build a foundation for ethical, reflective legal practice.
