5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Casebook/Highly Recommended, March 13, 2000

By 

Valerie J. Stanley, Georgetown Law Center; Se... (Rockville, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Animal Law (Hardcover)

"Animal Law" is a thoroughly researched, thoughtfully organized and well-written casebook on this newly-recognized but not so new area of the law. One only has to glance through the Table of Contents to realize the varied roles that animals play in our daily lives and the many contexts in which courts have considered animals. I use "Animal Law" in the seminar I teach at Georgetown; it collects the best cases for any given topic and distills important concepts from the readings through the Notes at the end of each section. I highly recommend "Animal Law" for any lawyer new to the field, as well as for attorneys who have practiced in this area of law for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Reference Book/Great Teaching Tool, March 8, 2000

By 

Paul Waldau (Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Animal Law (Hardcover)

This is an essential reference book and great teaching tool, not only because of its breadth and depth of coverage, but also because it includes many stimulating questions and observations in the abundant "Notes" sections thoughtfully included after each case, statute, or explanatory article.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific resource foe animal protection lawyers!, October 14, 2000

By 

Steven M. Wise - See all my reviews

This review is from: Animal Law (Hardcover)

I have practiced animal protection law for 20 years. This book taught me things I didn't know and categorized cases that I did know in new and helpful ways. I frequently use it as a reference in my legal work and assign it to the law school classes that I teach. Every animal protection lawyer should have a copy.
