Litigation




Safari Club International's Litigation Department participates in federal and state court cases and regulatory matters throughout the country to support and protect hunting opportunities; defend the right to hunt and the tools of the hunt and to advocate for sustainable-use wildlife conservation. The Department is staffed by attorneys Anna Seidman, Doug Burdin and Bill McGrath, in consultation with SCI's Legal Task Force.
