The Board of Managers of the Vermont Bar Association approved the creation of a section Animal Law at its meeting on March 28, 2024 in Burlington. The first chair of the section is Laura Fox, Visiting Professor and Director of the Farmed Animal Advocacy Clinic (FAAC) at Vermont Law and Graduate School. Fox was one of the presenters at the VBA CLE on Feb. 8 of this year on how to incorporate animal law into your practice.
The section will concern itself will all areas of law touching on animals. A forum has been created for the new section on VBA Connect. Anyone interested can reach out there to ask questions or make suggestions.
