Topics will include the need for a new treaty concerning animal welfare and its potential impact on domestic legislation; how democracy has impacted the plights of animals both domestically and abroad; and how attorneys represent animals in both a legal and social sense. A Senior Attorney for Wildlife and Animal Research at the Humane Society of the United States will also discuss recent litigation concerning U.S. approval of foreign hunting programs.
