“Thanks to [Law Scholars for Change], I was able to put my financial insecurities aside and focus on the one thing that is most import to me in the whole world: my animal law education.”

Why Law?

Law is a fundamental tool for change
Laws are needed to protect the environment, public health and animal welfare
Farmed animals lack basic legal protections
Lawyers create policy, legislation and litigate when needed
Our law students are leaders – as lawyers, they will power change

Partners

Partner organizations are integral to the program. We work closely with valued partners and educators to provide our Fellows with opportunities to develop relationships and build careers.
