The Law, Ethics & Animals Program (LEAP) at Yale Law School is dedicated to two overarching goals. First, we aim to inspire impactful learning and scholarship about the deep legal, scientific and moral questions that humanity’s treatment of other animals raise. Second, we aim to empower Yale scholars and students to produce positive legal and political change for animals, people, and the environment upon which they depend.
