Apply by May 1st: Scholarships for the Law & Ethics of Animal Testing Summer Course
Scholarships are available for visiting and auditing (with a certificate) students
Due to the generosity of the William C. Borst Trust, we are proud to offer a limited number of full-tuition course scholarships for visiting students and auditing students seeking a certificate for our 2024 online Animal Law Summer Program course—The Law & Ethics of Animal Testing.
Join Professor Paul Locke, JD, DrPH and our Animal Law LLM alum, Rebecca Critser to explore the complex and oftentimes controversial regulatory framework that governs the use of animals in scientific experiments in biomedical research and in toxicity testing. Students will learn about the latest litigation and policy developments from experts who are at the forefront of this quickly evolving field. Whether you are new to the topic or a seasoned veteran, this dynamic and fast-paced course will provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to become effective advocates, policy-makers, and analysts in this critically important area of law. CALS is proud to be at the forefront of analyzing and critiquing the animal testing framework, having offered the Law & Ethics of Animal Testing course since 2014. Starting May 28, 2024, this three-credit course is offered in an online asynchronous format through the Canvas platform over ten weeks.
