Essay Competition 2020-21

Our Centre is pleased to announce its first Animal Rights Law Essay Competition. Our first competition title follows in the footsteps of the competition run in 1795 by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, when the question was: Anne liceat invitos in servitutem dare? (“Is it lawful to enslave the unconsenting?”). The competition was won by Thomas Clarkson, setting him on a course to become one of the leading English abolitionists. Our Centre is now inviting essays on the same question: Is it lawful to enslave the unconsenting?Three prizes will be awarded. Click here to find out more about how to participate.
