Now in its sixth year, and growing in attendance and popularity, PBI again will present its annual seminar on Animal Law. If you've attended this seminar in the past, then you know how educational and entertaining the day is! If you've not attended before — this is your chance to get in on the fun and earn six CLE credits, including your ETHICS credit!
Our opening session for this year's Animal Law Conference will focus on the much talked-about "New Dog Law" in Pennsylvania, one of Governor Rendell's initiatives. Moderated by Jessie L. Smith, Special Deputy Secretary for Dog Law Enforcement at the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, a panel of individuals who were involved in the drafting and passage of Act 119 of 2008 will discuss the process, the impact of the law, the challenges in reaching compromise to get the needed votes and the strengths and weaknesses of the new law. As with most legislation, there are those who say it does not do enough, those who believe it has gone too far, and those who feel that it was an achievement to pass the law at all. This will be a dynamic session and your comments and questions are invited.
Our faculty will address the following topics:
- Pennsylvania's New Dog Law
- Hot Topics in Cat Law
- The Law of Marine Mammals
- Animal Law in Practice: A Practitioners' Roundtable (1 hour of Ethics and 0.5 of Substantive)
- Assessment, Training and Placement of Shelter and Rescue Animals (NOT for CLE credit)
- Resolving Pet Disputes in Divorce Cases
- The Animal Law Year in Review — a Summary of New Developments
In addition to a great seminar, we will again offer you the opportunity to meet exhibitors and sponsors at the conference and learn more about these organizations and their missions.
Animals will be on site all day too!
Please Note: Some of our sponsors and exhibitors will be bringing dogs, cats and other domestic animals to the seminar.
