Litigation for Animal Welfare (LAW) focuses on high-impact cases that have the power to establish legal precedent and advance the rights of animals. The primary way in which LAW achieves this goal is through the work of the LAW Litigation team, which focuses on pursuing two primary types of legal action.

Legislative

Litigation for Animal Welfare is a pioneering organization dedicated to overturning laws and regulations that harm animals or violate their fundamental rights. Through strategic litigation, advocacy, and public education, the LAW team works to challenge unjust policies that enable cruelty, exploitation, or environmental destruction at the expense of animals.

With a team of expert attorneys and legal scholars, the fund identifies oppressive laws, exposes their detrimental impact, and pursues groundbreaking cases to advance legal protections for animals. By striving to reshape the legal landscape, LAW aims to create a world where animals are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion under the law.

Strategic Animal Abuse and Exploitation Cases

The LAW team acts as a defense fund, championing animal advocacy by combating both physical abuse and the exploitation of animals for financial gain. Through strategic litigation and robust legal action, the LAW Litigation team targets individuals and organizations in both state and federal court, that harm animals.

Additionally, the LAW Litigation team takes on local municipalities that seek to execute animals unfairly and challenges regulations that harm and penalize animals for being animals.
