Setting the standard for health law scholarship

Health Law

Established in 1997, the Quinnipiac Health Law Journal specializes in the areas of health law and policy, biomedical ethics and medical-legal research, both domestic and international. In a legal landscape constantly in flux, the journal positions itself on the front lines of changes, regulations and practices of health care institutions at state, local and federal levels. Scholarship also examines the many legal threads which connect providers, payers, vendors and patients in our health care system. Featured topics include forensic evidence, legal medicine, long-term care for the elderly, fraud and abuse enforcement and compliance, and medical malpractice.

The journal is designed for law school students and faculty as well as the broader health sciences community at Quinnipiac and beyond.
