What Is Health Law?



There are many ways to conceptualize health law. The Health Law & Justice Program views health law as encompassing not only the law of health care delivery and financing but all areas of study that focus on the intersection between law and health: from the ethics of embryonic stem cell research, to the role of government in preventing child maltreatment, to occupational health and safety regulations, to the laws governing elder care and death.
 We have grouped our health law courses into four overlapping but distinct areas of study: health care law, public and population health law, bioethics, and global health law. Although these are not the only categories into which health law may be divided, we think these groupings provide a helpful lens for understanding the field’s multifaceted nature.
