David H. Braff Animal Law Clinic

The work of the recently launched David H. Braff Animal Law Clinic will be wide-ranging, with a focus on justice for animals, including the prosecution of domestic animal abuse cases; curbing puppy mills, dog fighting and roadside circus abuses; and fighting against wildlife, exotic and farmed animal abuses.

Students will receive practical, hands-on training on being effective advocates for the humane and ethical treatment of animals; they will learn about and engage in a variety of advocacy efforts including litigation, legislative and regulatory initiatives, and community education and outreach.

The inaugural class of students will join the Animal Law Clinic for Spring semester January 2024.  The Clinic will work with community partners to find clients and intends to accept publicly submitted cases.
