The most prestigious universities were involved - including the University of Melbourne and, the winners, Bond University. Ondine Sherman, co-founder and managing director of Vioceless, said: ‘When Voiceless started ten years ago, one law school taught the subject. Today animal law is being taught at 14 universities with a number of law firms practising in this important area of law.’ Source: Sydney Morning Herald
