Animal Legal Defense Fund of Berkeley Law

ALDFBL mission is to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. The ALDF is dedicated to providing a forum for education, advocacy, and scholarship aimed at protecting the lives and advancing the interests of animals through the legal system, and raising the profile of the field of animal law. ALDF aims to: (1) educate the UC Berkeley community about forms of institutionalized animal abuse, and (2) foster awareness about means of combating this abuse through litigation. We hope to provide opportunities, education, and assistance to Berkeley Law students working to promote positive legal protection of animal welfare.
