Course Details

Enrolled students read and discuss draft articles of nationally renowned professors in the field of health law. They must also write a three page memo (double spaced) with comments on the article that will be useful to the professor. The articles are typically draft law review articles. The discussions are focused on helping the professors to refine and improve their articles, such that a strong foundation of health law is expected, even though there is no official pre-requisite. There is no final exam or research project required for this class. Instead, students are required to attend and actively participate in all classes and write comment memos as described above.

Outcomes: Develop an understanding of cutting-edge issues in health care law and policy; Cultivate skill in reading, analysis, and critique of contemporary legal scholarship.
