The University of Tennessee - Knoxville

Description:

Students are exposed to ways in which nonhuman animals influence and are impacted by statutory, regulatory, and decisional law. There are gaps in the legal framework relating to these animals, and that construct is constantly—and in some cases rapidly—evolving. Knowledge of subject matters outside law is necessary as a means of understanding and developing the applicable law. As a result, the work in this course that involves the interface between animals and law involves explorations of aspects of, among other subject matter areas: animal-related professions; business administration and finance; psychology, philosophy; history; economics; political science; jurisprudence; and legislation.Grading Restriction(s): Numeric grading (law students); A-F grading (graduate students).Repeatability: Not repeatable. May be taken once for 2 or 3 hours.Registration Restriction(s): JD students only or with Instructor Permission.
