Description

Guide to Representing Animal Protection Organizations Yolanda Eisenstein ISBN 9781639053964

The state of animals—whether considered individually, by species, or within ecosystems—is critical and represents one of today’s most urgent global challenges. While laws protecting animals have existed for centuries, the field of animal law has grown tremendously over the past two decades. In response, leading experts have collaborated on this unique and essential guide to support the work of animal protection organizations that are at the forefront of addressing these issues.

Practical and insightful, this guide demonstrates the many ways lawyers can advocate for animals—whether representing animal protection organizations as in-house counsel, external counsel, or through pro bono work. The book begins with an overview of the types of organizations dedicated to advancing animal welfare and explores how legal professionals can support their missions. It also covers fundamental considerations in representing these organizations, including:

  • Formation, governance, and tax-exempt status

  • Operational matters such as employees, volunteers, liability, and insurance

  • Constitutional issues, including First Amendment concerns

  • Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice considerations

  • Comprehensive coverage of local, state, federal, and international animal protection laws

  • And much more

This guide is a practical resource for lawyers who want to make a meaningful impact in the field of animal law while effectively supporting the organizations championing animal welfare worldwide.
