Description: 
With its intricate layers of international, federal, and state protections, environmental law is more established than animal law. In his book, What Can Animal Law Learn From Environmental Law? (forthcoming May 2020), Professor Abate, inaugural Rechnitz Family and Urban Coast Institute Endowed Chair in Marine and Environmental Law and Policy at Monmouth University, has assembled an experienced team of 36 academics, advocates, and legal professionals from the environmental and animal law fields to examine the experiences of these two fields. Drawing on lessons from history, politics, and law, the book examines how environmental law's successes and shortcomings can inform animal law, and how the two fields can work together to secure mutual gains in the future. This panel presentation examines some of the key topics discussed in the book with an emphasis on lawsuits addressing deceptive advertising and humane washing and challenges to plant-based meat and milk as avenues for enhanced animal protection.
