As some of my readers might recall, I am on the Committee on Animal Law (“CAL”) for the New York State Bar Association (“NYSBA”). The webcast from the CAL annual meeting is now available online. If an attorney would like to recieve MCLE credit, NYSBA members can pay $75 and nonmembers can pay $125. There are also materials available for download online from the conference.
The presentation covers “Hot Topics in Animal Law” including issues concerning wildlife, estate planning, dog breed specific ordinances, and custody issues in a divorce. I was unable to attend this meeting last January because I was stuck in Court that day (ironically for a dog replevin case). I watched the presentation tonight in its entirety and found it to be very informative.
