DESCRIPTION:Animal law advocates use science to help judges\, legislators\,
  and others understand the need to protect animals.  Recently\, sentience 
 has been widely used in these legal strategies.  This session will conside
 r the legal uses of sentience assertions and ask\, what is it – what doe
 s it mean – how can it be used?  Dr. Lori Marino\, a leading scientist i
 n the field\, will lead the discussion with our experienced panelists – 
 Elizabeth Stein\, Mike Radford\, and Marty McKendry. They will share what 
 this work can look like in different advocacy contexts.  They will examine
  the lessons we can learn from past efforts to use sentience within legal 
 frameworks and consider how best to use it in the future.\n\nSpeakers\n\nE
