The Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a brief with the Colorado Supreme Court urging it to reverse the lower court’s ruling that denied five elephants a hearing on the lawfulness of their imprisonment in the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on the basis of habeas corpus. The NhRP’s appeal marks the first time Colorado’s highest court will be able to rule on arguments concerning a nonhuman animal’s right to liberty. 

From 12-12:50pm in room 306, Jake, the main attorney in this case, and Christopher will host an online webinar to talk about how they think oral arguments went and what strategies they used to prepare. Vegan pizza will be provided for lunch. Please RSVP by Wednesday November 6^th to guarantee your meal. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCA6nkVwQLZ21tSG9rnoHvBP0jjgH32et3z_fvVgGlEmS9Qw/viewform?usp=sf_link
