Welcome to the New Zealand Animal Law Association - NZALA
Improving the lives and welfare of animals through the legal system
The New Zealand Animal Law Association is a coalition of lawyers, law students and law graduates working to improve the welfare and lives of animals in New Zealand.
We currently have over 500 members throughout the country from nearly all areas of legal practice.
Legislative reform of Animal Law
We write submissions and reports to Select Committees and the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee. We work to improve public awareness of animal law through public lectures, seminars, and other outreach initiatives.
We provide free legal assistance to animal protection organisations, assist with animal cruelty prosecutions, and promote the field of animal law at New Zealand law schools through community placement programmes.
