AALTRA is an association of animal law teachers and researchers dedicated to the advancement of animal law teaching, research, scholarship, and reform in the Australasia region. Governed by an expert committee of experienced animal lawyers and academics, AALTRA is focused on improving animal wellbeing through law, policy, and education. The Association’s work involves contributing to law reform consultations, hosting academic events, and facilitating discussion and collaboration amongst the Australasian animal law community.
The 2024 AALTRA Symposium is an opportunity for animal law teachers, scholars, practitioners, and students to come together to share insights, experiences, and opportunities for reform. Across two half-days, attendees will hear from a range of presenters and interact with each other at networking events. The Symposium will explore contemporary animal law teaching, research, practice, law reform and advocacy in Australasia. It will also include a particular focus on the intersection between animal law academia and animal advocacy. This will include the ways in which academia influences and informs advocacy for animals and the ways that advocacy for animals inspires and drives research in relation to animal law issues.
Animal law prizes will be announced at the Symposium.
