In May 2007, Voiceless teamed up with the University of New South Wales’ Faculty of Law to establish Australia’s first-ever animal law lecture series. Each year the Series features a leading international scholar or practitioner in animal law who is invited to Australia and New Zealand to deliver a series of lectures to lawyers, academics, students, and the broader community. The Series also involves panel discussions, seminars and a variety of other activities that seek to foster advocacy for animals. "Animal Protection is potentially the next great social justice movement. Voiceless and the University of New South Wales Faculty of Law are to be commended on this important and timely initiative. More and more we find that issues about animal rights and animal welfare are being discussed in the media and in the community. It is important that we have balanced and high level information in order to make this a truly informed debate.” David Weisbrot AM, President of the Australian Law Reform Commission
The 2007 and 2008 Lecture Series were kindly supported by the Sherman Foundation and the UNSW Foundation. Did you like this article?   |
