DRAFTING ANIMAL LAWS 101
Elaine will present a talk entitled “Drafting Animal Laws 101” at the Texas Aggie Bar Association’s Annual Conference on March 2 in College Station, TX.
JULY 2019 UPDATE
The recent legal wrangling over who won the Kentucky Derby was summarized in Elaine's article entitled "Disqualification of Kentucky Derby Winner Triggers Lawsuit", which was published in the American Bar Association's Tort, Trial and Insurance Practice Section (ABA-TIPS) Animal Law Committee's Summer 2019 newsletter. A lawsuit was filed after thoroughbred Maximum Security crossed the finish line first at the Kentucky Derby; but then was disqualified by stewards to seventeenth place. Maximum Security's owners have disputed the disqualification decision, and their filed complaint can be found here.
Elaine is the featured speaker at the upcoming Lunch N'Learn meeting of the ABA-TIPS Equine Subcommittee meeting. Her presentation entitled "Beyond the Basics: Creating the Next Generation of State Laws Supportive of Horse Use & Ownership" will be given on July 22, 2019.
