CLE: Animal Valuation – Live Webcast!

An animal's value is a hotly debated topic among companion animal guardians and animal professionals. The worth of an animal has changed in recent years with the recognition of pets as family members, animal sentience, and heightened cruelty laws. Don't miss this live webcast on Wednesday, September 17th that explores the historical notions of market value verses the more modern actual value standards, as well as the direction of current trends. Attorneys with intermediate practice experience in civil, tort, or animal law who are interested in the damages available to a litigant for the loss of an animal in Illinois who attend this seminar will better understand:

  • How animal valuation can arise in the context of a civil case;
  • How the current worth of an animal depends on the animal’s status as companion, commercial, protected, etc;
  • The argument for status quo;
  • How societal change and criminal aspects have affected the argument for increased valuation;
  • The proposed solutions, including a price increase commensurate with risk; and
  • Much more!

The seminar is presented by the ISBA Animal Law Section and qualifies for 1.5 hours MCLE credit.
