A Courtroom Champion for 4-Legged Creatures

 

By CLAUDIA DREIFUS

 

AMBRIDGE, Mass. — Among the high-flying lawyers who roam the halls of

Harvard Law School, Steven M. Wise, 51, is an oddity. Instead of devoting

himself to the fine points of torts or contracts, he teaches the school's

first ever course in animal rights law.

 

Moreover, Mr. Wise, who runs a small law firm that litigates for the

interests of animals, has written two well-reviewed books on the subject,

" Rattling the Cage: Toward Legal Rights for Animals " and the recently

released " Drawing the Line: Science and the Case for Animal Rights. "
