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.
