Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act Moot Court

Congrats to all the law students who took part in the appellate moot court competition on the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act at Harvard Feb 15-17. I think it’s incredible that law students are tackling these issues in moot court while some national organizations seem like they’d prefer just to ignore that they even exist. I hope they’ll continue to be involved in challenging the law in (real) court. Here’s the winning appellant brief from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law. The case that the law students argued, by the way, involves an animal activist who used undercover investigations, protests and other tactics to affect an egg company’s business practices (not unlike what mainstream groups are doing right now).
