LAST REMINDER: Animal Law Panel @ Stanford

November 12, 2004

Shaking the Foundations, the West Coast Conference on Progressive Lawyering,

begins tomorrow at 4:00.

Two events are of special interest to animal rights folks.

First, the 6:30 PM screening on Friday of The Corporation, which deals in

part with corporate harms to animals, was directed by Jennifer Abbott, who

directed the animal rights documentary " A Cow At My Table. " (Unfortunately,

due to illness, Ms. Abbott will not be speaking at the screening as

originally advertised.)

Second, on Saturday at 11:10 AM, our animal law panel will feature a stellar

group of animal rights activists and professionals:

*Joyce Tischler, executive director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund

*Virginia Handley, California Coordinator for The Fund for Animals

*Taimie Bryant, professor of Animal Law at UCLA Law School

*Bruce Wagman, animal law practitioner, professor of Animal Law at UC

Berkeley Boalt School of Law.

The panel will be moderated by noted author Erik Marcus, who wrote " Vegan:

The New Ethics of Eating " and " Meat Market. "

(Come check out Erik on Sunday in Mountain View, too!

The registration fee is $15, and will get you a film screening, a day of

panels, and a gourmet keynote lunch (vegan option available). Though the

registration fee is strongly suggested, as this is a non-profit,

student-run conference, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
