Currently, animal law is being taught at numerous law schools in the country, including as Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, Northwestern, University of Michigan and Duke. As of January 2006, more than 65 law schools throughout the country have animal law classes in their curriculums. A growing number of state and local bar associations now have animal law committees.

The comprehensive animal law casebook is ''Animal Law Cases and Materials - Second Edition'', co-authored by Sonia S. Waisman, Bruce A. Wagman, and Pamela D. Frasch.

Each chapter sets out cases and commentary where animal law affects those broader areas.
