History of ANRLR
The Journal of Animal and Natural Resource Law is one of only three journals nationally that is devoted to animal law topics. Furthermore, the Journal has carved out a special niche because of its blend of animal and natural resource articles. Originally called the Journal of Animal Law, ANRLR was born out of a generous donation from the Animal Legal Defense Fund, a national animal rights organization. Additionally, the donation created the Journal under the direction of Professor David Favre, an internationally renowned figure in animal law. Now in its sixteenth volume, ANRLR continues to be a premier resource for animal law and natural resource law scholars and practitioners nationwide.
The Journal was previously known as The Journal of Animal and Natural Resource Law. It underwent a name change in October of 2019.
