Animal Liberation's Webinar, 1 August - Jake Davis- Attorney- Nonhuman Rights Project

Jake Davis is a Colorado-licensed, Montanna - based staff attorney for the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and lead attorney for the NhRP's Hawaii and Colorado litigation. Previously, Jake worked in Federal Court Under the Honorable S. James Otero of the United States District Court for the Central District of California), for the U.S. Government (at the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California), and in private practice (Squire Patton Boggs)
Jake will be presenting on the NhRP's work, the only civil rights organisation in the United States, dedicated solely to securing rights for nonhuman animals. Their groundbreaking work challenges an archaic, unjust legal status quo that views and treats all nonhuman animals as legal "things" with no rights. As with human rights, nonhuman rights are based on fundamental values and principles of justice, such as liberty, autonomy, equality and fairness.
Along with his work at the NHP, Jake clerks part- time for Montanna's 11th Judicial District Court. He is a proud human to a rescued pitbull dog named Archie.
