The Animal Law Society was created in the fall of 2000 by a group of students interested in learning more about the nexus between animals and the law.
Some of the organization's goals and activities include:
- Conducting a Holiday Pet Food Drive to benefit a local Humane Society
- Sponsoring an Animal Law Lunchtime Discussion Series
- Participating in Nashville Cares, an organization which helps the elderly care for their pets
- Assisting a local county in establishing an animal control organization
- Building a resource center that students and faculty can use to learn about the current state of animal laws on a local, national and global level
