NYT Profiles GW Law Brain Injury Course

In its Sunday edition, The New York Times profiled a new GW Law seminar about the legal implications of traumatic brain injuries. The law school developed this first of its kind course because of the concussion crisis gripping the NFL. "We look for areas of the law that need attention," said Interim Dean Gregory Maggs. Students in the class learn both legal theory and practice while considering questions ranging from liability to the epidemiology of brain injuries. According to the instructor, Professorial Lecturer in Law Michael Kaplen, "The number of concussions is vastly underreported."
