"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.

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.

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.

After 10 years as an insurance defense lawyer, I found my passion in Animal Law. I represent both animals and "owners" in the protection of animal and owners' rights. This case book is the very heart of my Animal Law Library and I use it every day. I highly recommend the case book for all human animals with interest in Animal Law. Jennifer Dietz, Esq. (...)
