What is Health Law?
Join us for the Petrie-Flom Center’s lunchtime open house.
Harvard Law School faculty and alumni from the private and public sectors will discuss their own career paths and describe the key interdisciplinary questions that define the practice of health law today and in the future.
Expect an insider’s view of legal practice at the intersection of health, ethics, and technology, including biopharma and the FDA, access to medical care and healthy food, and the changing law of neuroscience.
We’ll also announce our HLS student writing competition for our blog Bill of Health and preview our programming for 2026-2027.
Can’t wait? For a preview of health law at HLS, check out this issue of The Practice from the Center on the Legal Profession.
This event will be recorded and shared at a later date.
