MSU student honored for work in animal law
Published: May 14, 2024
With a love of animals, it’s no surprise to find MSU Law 3L student Lauren Duguid is passionate about animal law.
“They don’t have a voice, so humans must use theirs to protect them,” Duguid said. “They have feelings and play a critical role in our lives. To help avoid cruelty through the law is critical because they would otherwise go ignored. Law is a powerful tool that can be used to ensure their welfare.”
