The National Center for Animal Law trains and supports animal law students in order to further the field of animal law and promote legal protections for animals.

The Center encourages and develops practical trainings and resources recognizing that the present generation of students will become litigators, prosecutors, and judges; executive directors, staff, and board members of non-profit organizations; and lobbyists and legislators creating stronger legal protections for animals. Law students are the voice of the future for animals in the legal system, and the National Center for Animal Law strengthens this voice by:

• Fostering curriculum developments;
• Hosting conferences, competitions, and trainings;
• Providing financial support for animal law students;
• Developing resources for students pursuing careers in, and involving, animal law.
