Congratulations to Practicum in Animal Welfare Skills Director Lisa Milot for being named the Annie and Zack Stanton Distinguished Professor in Canine Welfare Law. The professorship was recently created by the Stanton Foundation, which has previously supported Milot and her PAWS work including a $1.4 million grant to help reduce the neglect and abuse of dogs.
The Stanton Foundation's ongoing partnership with the law school has been transformational across several areas, and it is helping the School of Law to redefine what it means to be a great national public law school. In addition to Milot and the Practicum in Animal Welfare Skills, support has included funding for the First Amendment Clinic, student scholarships, post-graduate fellowships and course development.
