The Animal Law Section of the Maryland Bar Association is partnering with the Journal of Animal Law and Ethics at the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Law to publish the articles, commentaries, or papers for the first-ever regional Mid-Atlantic Symposium on Animal Law.

The symposium will be hosted by the Animal Law Section of the Maryland State Bar Association, in conjunction with the University Of Baltimore School Of Law and the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Law.

Submissions should discuss the impact of the current economic and political climate on animals and the opportunities that exist to improve the welfare of animals. The steering committee for the symposium encourages authors and researchers from accredited law schools and universities, judges, lawyers, and non-profits or advocacy organization professionals to submit proposals.
The steering committee additionally invites proposals from second or third year law students. Student papers will be considered for publication. As with all other presenters, there is no absolute commitment to publish winning student articles or papers. The goal, however, is to have at least one article or paper by a law student included in the symposium.
