Please join us at UCLA Law School on Monday, March 20th,
at 7 p.m. for a presentation by Steve Wise. Mr. Wise has twenty years of
experience as a teacher, scholar, and practitioner of animal law. He
will be speaking about his new book, Rattling the Cage, in which he
argues that basic legal rights should be extended to nonhuman animals,
beginning with chimpanzees and bonobos.
Also, please save the date of April 25th for a
presentation by Scott Myers and his client, Jerry Friedman. Mr. Friedman
is suing Kaiser Permanente for religious discrimination, battery, and
other claims based on his vegan beliefs.
The presentation on March 20th will be held from 7 p.m.
in Room 1430, which is located on the ground floor of the Law School
very close to the north entrance of the Law School.
There is no charge to attend the event. Parking is
available at UCLA for the price of $5 per car. The following directions
will enable you to enter UCLA at the point closest to the Law School:
