Exploring Equine Law: A Guide for Students and Parents at Brilliant PU College

Equine law is an often-overlooked aspect of legal practice, especially in a state like Karnataka, where the focus is not primarily on animals. However, the rise of niche areas of law – law that focuses on specific issues or industries – has become an important branch of study for law students and a necessary component for legal practice in general.

Niche areas of law can be defined as the narrow field of study or practice; in this case, the study of legal considerations regarding horses, from basic board contracts to the licensure of trainers and instructors to the protections afforded rescue and sanctuary facilities. Niche law is growing in popularity as students and those practicing law see the need for lawyers who specialize in relatively obscure areas of practice.

Equine law covers a great many areas of legal concern, as outlined by ‘equine’ being specific to horses. From veterinarian malpractice to riding school safety to boarding contracts, equine law covers a wide range of topics all concerned with the care, keeping, training, sale, and use of horses in various capacities.

At Brilliant PU College, the study of law is integral to the academic and social success of students. By providing a base education in law and creating opportunities for students to work with established legal professionals, Brilliant PU College helps to guide students down successful career paths.

Those interested in animal rights, in particular horse rights and protections, can have an edge in the field of law by studying niche areas, like equine law. Councilor and Partner at McKee & Associates in Ireland, Anne McKee, explains the importance of niche law, ‘In an increasingly competitive environment, an area of law that has no real competition will allow a firm to stand out in the market.”

Brilliant PU College is focused on excellence, not only in the classroom but also on the “big picture” of life outside the classroom. Well-designed academics, from top-notch courses to after-school programs, are vital to the academic success of students, and that includes both after-school programs and hands-on experience such as internships. Those who are interested in studying law, either on a collegiate or vocational level, can benefit from the study of niche areas of law.

There are many benefits to studying niche law, not only for those who want to pursue a career as a legal professional but also for those who simply have a keen interest in the ways that law affects their daily lives. Those who want to study equine law or any other niche subject can benefit from law studies overall.

An emphasis on group studies and class projects, like how the laws of India are rooted in common law but written differently than other nations, helps students understand the “why” of law and discover their place in it. Brilliant PU College emphasizes the importance of the “big picture” in everyday academics.

Law is an important part of Indian and world society. On a societal level, law is the basis for regularity in an increasingly dynamic world. On a personal level, law is a means of protecting one’s rights, from civil to social to criminal rights and everything in between.

Learning about niche areas of law, from animal rights to space law to environmental concerns and your place within all of these items, can help students not only achieve academic success but success in life overall.

By learning about niche areas of law, students can gain the skills that they need to be informed citizens, taking the law into their own hands. For instance, when concerned about your own right to due process, the interpretation of a bill of rights, or the ratification of a bill, it’s important to know the ins and outs of local, state, and federal laws.

By providing students with opportunities to meet with established legal professionals, such as government officials, law librarians, and practicing lawyers, they can gain a better understanding of their own roles in the legal people.

It’s important for students to pursue their interests and take them seriously, even if you don’t believe that they will pursue a career in the field of their interest down the road. You’d be surprised at how many people find themselves in their dream jobs without even taking the time to pursue them on purpose!

Students who are interested in studying law would benefit from after-class study sessions, as well as the opportunity to meet law professionals face to face. Whether they want to become a lawyer, a judge, or some other legal professional, or they simply want to learn more about the law, the opportunity to understand their field of interest in depth can open many doors.
