2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT

This Section held its annual kickoff dinner, featuring a panel discussion that included Circuit Court Judge Lenore R. Gelfman, University of Maryland School of Law Professor Susan Hankin and animal law attorney Mindy Felinton on the evolving property status of animals, at the Elkridge Furnace Inn in October. It hosted the Mid-Atlantic Animal Law Symposium, an all-day event featuring panel discussions between top state and regional animal law scholars, in April in Baltimore. The Section also continued to actively mold animal legislation in the state.

PURPOSE:

The charge of the Committee is to build and establish an MSBA Animal Law Section that will provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas about legal issues that concern the treatment of all animals, the protections afforded to animals, and the rights and responsibilities of persons who have an interest in animals. The purpose of the Animal Law Section will be to facilitate the development of good legal practice in animal-related issues by providing educational programs and resources and by participating in the legislative process.
