The University of Georgia School of Law recently received a $200,000 grant from PetSmart Charities benefitting the Community Interventions for Sustainable Access to Care program. “This initiative will determine if it is cost-effectively possible to remove some of the access barriers to key resources so that more dogs and cats can stay in good, if under-resourced, homes and so the animals that are impounded despite the interventions require less rehabilitation at taxpayer expense,” Practicum in Animal Welfare Skills Director and Associate Professor Lisa Milot said.
Assistant Professor Lindsey Simon was featured on NPR regarding companies using bankruptcy as a way to combat lawsuits. The segment titled "Rich companies are using quiet tactic to block lawsuits: bankruptcy" was hosted by Brian Mann and aired 4/2/22.
