Dominion: A Legal Deconstruction (GEG) – Spokane, WA
11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The 2018 film Dominion won several awards for its exposé of customary animal management practices pertaining to six primary facets of our interaction with animals — companions, wildlife, scientific research, entertainment, clothing, and food. Utilizing high-quality drone footage and covert cameras at concentrated animal feedlot operations and within slaughterhouses, Dominion provides audiences with a perspective that has been traditionally shielded from view and inquiry, increasingly aided by “ag-gag” laws that have repeatedly been declared unconstitutional. While the film is free to stream online, to amplify the educational impact of viewing it on a larger screen and in the company of colleagues, the Washington State Bar Association’s Animal Law Section is offering a legal x-ray into Dominion. CLE credits approved for 1.5 general and 0.5 ethics. Complimentary vegan appetizers and drinks will be served.
