Andover, MA (Law Firm Newswire) March 13, 2019 – The 13th Annual “Animal Rights Day,” at the Massachusetts School of Law will feature a lineup of exciting and educational attractions for animal lovers of all ages. This year’s event is being held Saturday, April 20, 2019, on the MSLAW campus in Andover. Dean Michael Coyne will present his opening remarks at 8:50 am, with presentations beginning at 9 am.
