Health Law Society
The Health Law Society is dedicated to raising the visibility of health law issues at New York University School of Law. The Society pursues this goal by bringing academics and practitioners to NYU School of Law to discuss these issues with students, either through formal symposia or more informal events. Past guests to the law school have spoken about bio-medical ethics, medical technology, food and drug law, mass tort litigation, patent law, HMOs, insurance regulation, ERISA, disability rights issues, elder care, legal issues in AIDS research and treatment, the body as property, and
comparative health systems.
This year the Society will continue to bring speakers to the Law School through the ongoing Health Law Brown Bag Lunch series. Other projects for this upcoming year include sponsoring blood drives, disseminating information on physical and mental health care for law students, and
providing a comprehensive list of relevant courses for students interested in pursuing careers related to health and medicine.
