Send us your proposal for the fifth annual Conference!​

Submission deadline: Friday, March 17, 2023
 
Theme: Submissions should relate to the field of animal law. Topics may include ideas for legislative reform, litigation strategies, issues relating to law enforcement, public policy initiatives, legal or other forms of education, recently published books, and historical or philosophical studies. Our primary focus is on Canada and North America, but international topics are also welcome.

We also welcome proposals for traditional academic paper presentations, debates, and shorter presentations on cases and other topics of interest. We are planning on a fully in-person event, and remote presentation and attendance will not be possible.
