Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

The Public Affairs Lunch discussion on Friday, February 10, will consider the concept of \u201canimal rights.\u201d Beliefs about how humans should relate to animals are either explicit or implicit in all religions. The idea of \u201canimal rights\u201d today is an ethical and religious viewpoint that has become a social movement with interest groups and activists. Adopting a language of \u201crights\u201d immediately makes the subject one of law and its limits. Much of the goal of the movement is to translate its preferences into law, either by legislation or adjudication. So Kathy Hessler, Associate Professor of Law, will lead a discussion on The Law and \u201cAnimal Rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Hessler received her J.D. from the College of William and Mary and an LL.M. from Georgetown University Law Center. Before coming to Case in 2000, she also taught at Capital University Law School, the University of Dayton, Georgetown, and Cornell. At Case she has taught clinics in family law, civil law, and community development, and since Fall of 2002 a seminar on animal law. Her work locates animal law within the broader trend of social reform activism and debates about rights.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll meet in the Toepfer Room of Adelbert Hall from 12:30 \u2013 1:30 p.m.. Cookies and beverages are kindly provided by the Office of University Communications. Come with questions!<\/p>\n
