Symposium

Every year, Animal Law Review hosts a symposium featuring thoughtful discussions on various topics in animal law. Please check back in September for details about our 15th annual symposium, which will be held on Friday, March 6, 2025.

This year’s Animal Law Review Symposium invites advocates and attorneys to challenge corporate practices that treat the exploitation of non-human animals as a necessary cost of doing business. The program explores how consumer protection law, securities regulation, and corporate governance can be used to hold corporations accountable for misleading labels, deceptive disclosures, and harmful supply-chain practices. By reframing core questions of corporate law—who must tell the truth, what risks must be disclosed, and who bears responsibility—the Symposium highlights how legal strategies can recognize non-human animals as stakeholders rather than mere commodities.

This Symposium is a hybrid event open to all in-person and virtual advocates interested in non-human animal protection. In-person attendees are invited to join us for lunch and an evening reception held in partnership with Lewis & Clark’s Animal Legal Defense Fund Student Chapter. CLE credit will be offered for all interested attorney participants.
