Chris Richardson Helps Lay Foundation for Animal Advocacy

On April 17, Chris Richardson spoke with Memphis Law Animal Advocacy about lobbying a bill. Prior to law school, Chris gained experience as a lobbyist at a Nashville firm. Animal Advocacy Secretary Amber Sauber took notes of Chris's talk which will be published shortly. Chris provided an introduction to lobbying, the basic approach to communicating support of a bill, and the environment of lobbying. Here are some photos of his visit and the first group photo of Memphis Law Animal Advocacy.
