Beschreibung

Animal law is a dynamic field that continues to grow in importance. The second edition of Careers in Animal Law shows a new generation of law students and lawyers the depth and breadth of the practice of animal law. From a personal assessment and self-care to structuring the law school experience to the role of creativity in discovering opportunities, this book provides a roadmap for making animal protection a fulfilling legal career. This new edition is an expanded version of the first, reflecting the continuing evolution of animal law in academia, nonprofits, and law firms. From establishing a solo practice to engagement in global issues, the book provides an overview of animal law, how to decide whether animal law is right for you, an in-depth look at the animals, and reflections on the future of animal law and the lawyers who will shape it.
