Concentrating in Health Law

JD candidates may earn Recognition of a JD Concentration in Health Law by successfully completing a minimum of 12-credits from among the courses listed below, including Health Care Law (6410), at least one foundational courses (Administrative Law (6400), Law and Medicine (6617), or Insurance Law (6298)) although all three can count toward the concentration, and at least two credits of experiential learning from among the courses noted with an asterisk (*). In addition, students must satisfy a supplemental requirement by producing a paper on a topic related to health law that meets the standards for the Law School’s writing requirement. Students may use the same paper to fulfill the writing requirement for both the recognition of concentration and the JD.
