UGA Law Practicum in Animal Welfare Skills

Prepare. Connect. Lead. The UGA School of Law is redefining what it means to be a great national public law school – offering a world-class, hands-on, purpose-driven educational experience – while continuing to be one of the best returns on investment in legal education. 

The Practicum in Animal Welfare Skills provides students with experience in ensuring companion animals are treated humanely and in compliance with local ordinances and state laws in the greater Athens area.

Working under the supervision of Professor Lisa Milot, students assist local animal law enforcement and veterinary professionals to identify and investigate crimes and ordinance violations concerning companion animals, including ride-alongs with animal control officers and participating in witness interviews and arraignments. Students work with community members to come into compliance with the laws and assist in prosecuting offenses.
