I've always been very interested in animal law and would probably cough up the money to join myself as long as I knew it would be worth it for me (and the animals!) Are there meetings of the animal law committee? How often? I browsed the bar association's website but couldn't find much information beyond the existence of the committee. Are there opportunities for lawyers in the city to help animals? I really want to break into the field but am unsure of how to go about it. Btw, I'm a big fan of your work after reading about it a while ago on the blog "Kiss Me - I'm Vegan!" Great stuff! Hi Mariann,

I looked on the website of the <a href="http://www.aldf.org/article.php?id=277" rel="nofollow">Animal Legal Defense Fund</a>, where they list all the bar association animal law committees and sections and, unfortunately, I don't see New Hampshire. I can't think of any lawyers off the top of my head from NH, but I am sure they are out there. Committees and sections are forming all the time. I don't see any reason why the bar association wouldn't tell you about their committees, and if there is an animal law committee in the works. Hi Jean,

I'm not a lawyer, but am very involved in legislative efforts to help animals in my home state, New Hampshire ( see my website, www.Give-Us-Shelter.com) . I'm always thrilled to make new contacts in the legal/legislative area , but... I don't think the NH Bar Assoc will give this kind of information to non-members ... do you know if there's an animal law committee in NH Bar Assoc ? If not, do you have any contacts here who might want to talk about it ? Thanks so much ! Jean Slepian Stoddard NH Very informative post, thanks so much, Mariann …
