“The Doc Is In: Prescribing Treatment for the Health Crises Through the Legal System”
September 20, 2024
Access to healthcare, the opioid crisis, mental health, environmental impacts–the law has come to play an increasingly important role in the world of public health. This role continues unabated. How will Big Pharma be impacted by judgments regarding the opioid crisis? What laws govern the capture and disposal of “forever chemicals” and ensuring environmental public health? Can the law help control health burdens caused by climate change? Will law firms adapt to mental health research concerning the legal profession? Are there implications of antitrust laws in hospital mergers? What is the impact of tribal self-governance on federal health care funds?
The Elon Law Review welcomed scholars, practicing attorneys, and policy makers to a symposium exploring the intersection of law and public health as a means to solve these challenges and more.
Initial details of the Elon Law Review’s next symposium will be shared here in early 2025.
