| We hope you have been having a relaxing and wonderful summer! Here at the Center for Animal Law Studies (CALS), our advanced degree students have just completed the summer term and we’re ready to welcome new students for the 2023-24 Academic year.
As we look to the upcoming academic year, we’re also delighted to share with you our 2022-23 Academic Year in Review. It was a year of innovative advancements for animal law education, including the launch of our Animal Law MSL Program for non-lawyers (in-person and online) and the creation of the world’s first Animal Law SJD program. Every day our faculty, staff, and alumni (now from over 25 countries!) are taking bold action to change the world for animals.
We’re also excited to share with you below a summary of our summer courses, an introduction to our newest CALS Ambassadors, details about our upcoming 31st annual Animal Law Conference, and more. We couldn’t do it without the generous support of our donors, supporters and friends.
On behalf of all of us at CALS, thank you for being part of our journey.
For the animals,
Pamela D. Hart

We are just wrapping up this year’s summer term! Students had the opportunity to choose from four courses: Animal Law Trial Advocacy, Animal Law & Science of Animal Minds, Food Law, and The Law & Ethics of Animal Testing.
Professors Pamela Frasch and Raj Reddy have just returned from the Eighth Annual Oxford Summer School on Animal Ethics, held at Merton College, University of Oxford. Hosted by the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, this year’s theme was “Animals and the Media: Communicating Ethical Perspectives on Animals.”
