National

Barristers Animal Welfare Panel
The Barristers Animal Welfare Panel comprises over 120 Victorian and NSW barristers. It is shortly due to become a national unitary body comprising members of the principal Bars around Australia. Its agenda is national. Its objectives include:

to represent and advise litigants in matters of public interest affecting animal welfare on a pro bono or reduced fee basis, instructed under the auspices of PILCH or direct by different law firms;

to challenge publicly or otherwise the existing deficient animal protection legal regime in Australia, where most animals are exempt from its protective reach, and for this purpose, to formulate and prosecute proposals for law reform;

to advise or appear in the defence of protesters;

to promote the adoption by law schools of ‘animal law’ as a subject; and

to encourage the participation by other legal professionals, law students or persons with non-legal skills in our programs and cases, especially by membership of the BAWP Secretariat.

[The BAWP website is under construction].
