Last August the two lawyers organised a major workshop in Brisbane that brought together animal law experts from across the region to discuss what can be done to make the law more useful for animal advocates. The project will culminate early next year with the first animal law book to be published in this part of the world. Podcasts of the discussions are available online by visiting the workshop website.

He is from Canada, and has an LLB from the University of Toronto, and an LLM from Osgoode Hall Law School.
