SUMMARY:Law Rare Book Lecture: The Weird and Wonderful World of Animals and the Law
DESCRIPTION:2023 Law Rare Book Lecture:\nThe Weird and Wonderful World of Animals and the Law \nPresenter: Professor Katy Barnett \nFor this lecture\, Professor Katy Barnett will discuss the book she co-wrote with Professor Jeremy Gans Guilty Pigs which considers the history and development of the law as it relates to animals. Does the King really own all the swans? Were medieval animals put on trial? And should animals (in captivity or otherwise) be treated like people? Since Guilty Pigs has come out\, the New York Court of Appeal decided that Happy the Elephant was not entitled to legal personhood\, but the Panamanian government has said that people can sue on behalf of the interests of sea turtles. \nWe hope you can join us for this opportunity to hear Professor Katy Barnett speak. The lecture will start at 6.00 pm and is hosted by the Law Library\, Melbourne Law School. \nDate & time: Tuesday 19 September\, 6:00pm – 7:00pm\nLocation: Melbourne Law School\, G08 Theatre\, 185 Pelham St\, Carlton\nFurther information and registration: https://events.unimelb.edu.au/MLS/event/30609-the-weird-and-wonderful-world-of-animals-and-the
