The American Veterinary
Medical Law Association (AVMLA) is a national association of attorneys, veterinarians, and
other individuals and organizations with an interest in veterinary medical law and how it
pertains to the veterinary profession and allied fields. The AVMLA was incorporated in
1994 as a nonprofit organization with the following objectives:
The diverse
membership of the AVMLA provides a unique forum for the discussion of issues and the
dissemination of information. This is accomplished through conferences, newsletters, and
interactions among individual members.
The purpose of this World
Wide Web site (http://www.avmla.org) is to familiarize visitors with the existence of the American
Veterinary Medical Law Association, and to provide general information about legal issues
that may be of interest to veterinarians, lawyers and others in related professions. While information on this site is about the law,
it does not constitute, nor should it be considered, legal advice, recommendations, or
suggestions. Site visitors are encouraged and urged to consult legal counsel in their own
state, province or jurisdiction for specific legal advice. No attorney-client relationship
or veterinarian-client-patient relationship is created simply as the result of an
individual or entity contacting an attorney or veterinarian through this web site. The AVMLA makes no
warranty, representation or guarantee concerning the accuracy or reliability of the
content of this site or of any other sites to which it links. The AVMLA is a membership
organization open to lawyers, veterinarians, students in these professions and others who
qualify as associate or honorary members as defined in the organization's bylaws. It is neither a lawyer or veterinary referral
service, nor a law firm or a veterinary practice. Membership
in or association with the AVMLA does not mean that an individual lawyer or veterinarian
is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer or veterinarian.
The AVMLA
publishes proceedings of its annual conferences and a newsletter to keep members informed
on legal issues in veterinary medicine and AVMLA activities. As the Association's
membership grows, the newsletter will keep pace with the changing interests and needs of
its readership. Members are encouraged to submit items for the newsletter. Proceedings of
past AVMLA annual conferences are available by contacting the AVMLA Executive Secretary. The AVMLA Newsletter is intended solely for viewing and use by
members of the AVMLA. The AVMLA cautions members and other individuals who may view the
content of the AVMLA Newsletter that the AVMLA does not necessarily endorse any opinion
expressed herein, nor is this publication intended to be construed in any manner
whatsoever as rendering a legal opinion, giving legal advice or as an expression of an
official position taken by the AVMLA or its members on a particular issue.
AVMLA's COPYRIGHT POLICY The AVMLA does assert copyright to its Newsletters. The Newsletter
may not be disseminated, distributed, copied and/or reproduced without prior written
express permission of the AVMLA Requests for written permission should be submitted to the
