Cynthia von Schlichten has been practicing law for more than a decade. A lifelong animal rights advocate, she completed an LL.M. in Animal Law from Lewis & Clark Law School’s Center for Animal Law Studies in 2022.
In 2023, she taught an innovative online course in Nonprofit Animal Law at Lewis & Clark Law School for lawyers wanting to work for animal law nonprofits and non-lawyers taking on leadership roles.
