Over the years, the annual Animal Law Conference at Lewis & Clark has grow in size and popularity with the support and shared vision of the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Center for Animal Law Studies, which was founded at Lewis & Clark Law School in 2008. At the same time, the Animal Legal Defense Fund continued to host animal law conferences every three years, aptly called “The Future of Animal Law.” In 2013 they joined forces to create “The Animal Law Conference,” co-presented by the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Center for Animal Law Studies. As an annual event, the conference now alternates between Portland, Oregon, and another city each year. This year it will be held online and award winning author Jonathan Safran Foer will deliver the keynote presentation.
