Description

Pet Law and Custody: Establishing a Worthy and Equitable Jurisprudence for the Evolving Family Barbara Joan Gislason ISBN 9781634258920

A significant contribution to legal scholarship, Pet Law and Custody explores the evolving body of law affecting animals, with a particular focus on pets and companion animals. Author Barbara Gislason offers a unique perspective, demonstrating how advances in scientific understanding of animal cognition and emotional capacity should inform legal developments.

This book combines rigorous legal analysis with ethical insights, providing lawyers with a comprehensive guide to navigating the complex issues surrounding pet ownership and custody. It examines pet-related legal matters from multiple angles, addressing not only statutes and case law but also the cultural perspectives, cognitive biases, and practical considerations that influence negotiations, alternative dispute resolution, and judicial decision-making.

Key topics include:

  • Family law and replevin actions

  • Alternative dispute resolution in pet custody disputes

  • Estate planning and provisions for animals

  • Contract law and the Uniform Commercial Code as applied to pets

  • Property and tort law implications

  • Animal cruelty and dangerous dog cases

  • Science, bioethics, and their impact on legal decisions

  • Practical guidance for animal law practitioners, including case management, law office practices, and identifying expert witnesses

The book also includes appendices with valuable resources, such as sample pleadings, agreements, rescue adoption contracts, pet custody questionnaires, and more, making it an indispensable resource for attorneys working in this specialized area.
