Law Schools Make Room For Pets

 

LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2005

 

(CBS) Why did the chicken cross the road? To see an attorney, of course.

 

As CBS News Correspondent Jerry Bowen reports, it's no joke. It's called

animal law and Taimie Bryant, an animal law professor at the University of

California, Los Angeles, says it goes far beyond custody battles over

Bowser.

 

" Animal law properly also deals with alleviating animal suffering, " says

Bryant.

 

And six of the nation's premier law schools, including Columbia, Duke,

Stanford, UCLA, Yale and Northwestern, have each been given $1 million

endowments to train future animal law attorneys.
