Animal Legal Defense Fund Student Chapters
It’s easy to start a student chapter at your school. Student chapters are an instrumental part of a growing national movement toward recognizing the important body of law known as animal law. A student chapter can be a powerful forum on campus for education and scholarship aimed at understanding this area of law and the impact it has on animals. Most importantly, student chapters are in a unique position to powerfully advocate for changing laws to better protect animals.
