Desmond's Law: A Novel Approach To Animal Advocacy, Jessica Rubin
Desmond's Law: A Novel Approach To Animal Advocacy, Jessica Rubin
Animal Law Review
In May of 2016, the Connecticut Legislature passed Public Law 16-30, informally called Desmond’s Law. This law allows courts to appoint supervised law students or volunteer lawyers to advocate for the interests of justice in animal cruelty cases.

Critical Animal Studies And Animal Law, Maneesha Deckha
Animal Law Review
Law is anthropocentric. With the limited exception of its treatment of the corporation, law is a system of rules that privileges the concept of the human and ascribes reality through a human perspective. Appreciating this, it is truly impressive that animal issues in the law have become so prominent throughout the legal education system. With this increased exposure to posthumanist critiques of the legal system and its status for and treatment of animals, an increasing number of those involved in legal education are rethinking the law’s species-based hierarchy that places humans at the apex. This flourishing interest in animal law …
Teaching Posthumanist Ethics In Law School: The Race, Culture, And Gender Dimensions Of Student Resistance, Maneesha Deckha
Teaching Posthumanist Ethics In Law School: The Race, Culture, And Gender Dimensions Of Student Resistance, Maneesha Deckha

Posthumanist subjects in legal education are perceived as marginal and unworthy of serious discussion and scholarship. The author identifies the problems that can arise in introducing posthumanist critical content through her experience of teaching animal law as an optional course and as a part of a compulsory first-year course on property law and in advising on an upper-year student-led conference. She argues that the biases related to gendered, racialized, and otherwise differentiated norms inherited by the legal education system as …
