CEFR’s long-term "Nonhuman Rights Project" is intended to gain fundamental common law rights for nonhuman animals through litigation. Since 2007, a team of dedicated volunteers - lawyers, political scientists, law students, sociologists, psychologists, and computer modelers - have been analyzing the relevant law of all fifty states, as well the attitudes of the judges who sit on each state’s high court, to determine the jurisdiction with the highest likelihood of success.
