California continues to lead the nation in the legal landscape of animal rights and owner liability standards. Join us for a discussion with an animal law attorney who will discuss the newest animal-related laws signed into California legislation.

This 30-minute CLE session covers the most recent developments in this ever-expanding area of law including the Cat Declaw Ban and Veterinary Access. Participants will learn more about numerous legislative measures recently signed into place in California: from determining who can sell companion animals to stronger safeguards for furry friends during natural disasters.
