Too Many Lawyers? Too Many Chimps?


While the specialty area of "animal protection law" is one of the fastest-growing areas of the legal profession, it may have gotten out of hand. There is an Attorney in San Francisco (surprised?) by the name of Bruce Wagman who now has a complete law practice devoted exclusively to this specialty. He even co-authored a book, entitled: Animal Law, now in its third edition — the first casebook for animal law courses in law schools. But wait.........it gets better. He took it a step further and has recently announced that his practice will now be confined solely to legal issues focused on chimpanzees and apes. I cannot make this stuff up.
