Thanks to the Associations the Links with Academia Advisory Group for establishing and helping to maintain this site.
About These Web Pages
This site is intended to provide a smorgasbord for all academic health lawyers in the United States. Our hope is that all health law teachers will find something useful here, whether they are teaching health law for the first time or are a grizzled veteran; are a full-time teacher or part-time "adjunct"; or teach in a law school setting or in a school of public health, a medical school, or in one of the allied health professions' schools.
In addition, many schools offer more than one "law and medicine" or "health law" course: a survey course that covers most of the major areas of health care regulation and litigation, medical malpractice, food and drug, bioethics, etc. These pages are designed to provide valuable information for all teachers in the field, regardless of the precise focus of their course offerings.
Advice Columns
An advice column on the Academic Health Law site, written by guest authors from academia and private practice, provides insights and teaching tips as well as advice on researching and teaching specific health law or health policy topics.
The ninth guest column, "2009 Governance Update," was written by Kathleen M. Boozang, Associate Dean and Professor of Law at Seton Hall University School of Law, Newark, NJ. It provides an overview of four of the “hottest” areas related to nonprofit corporate governance in 2009:
- Governance and the IRS, focusing on the Governance section of the new Form 990 and executive compensation
- Governance and Corporate Compliance
- Governance and Quality
- Governance and the Economy
