About Us
Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy
The Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy was created in 1984 to recognize the need for an academic forum to study the burgeoning field of health law and to foster a dialogue between the legal and health care professions.
Since that time, the Beazley Institute has grown to offer one of the most comprehensive and respected health law programs in the country. The Institute today is comprised of students, faculty, researchers, practitioners, lecturers, librarians and staff working together to fulfill a common mission: We educate the health law leaders of tomorrow.
The Health Law Field
Health law is a unique practice area that is focused on an industry, not a body of law. Health law is real estate law and labor law. It is corporate law and taxation, and criminal law and legislation. Health law encompasses just about everything taught in law school, but all aspects revolve around health care.
Health Law at Loyola
The Loyola health law courses and faculty take you inside the complex health care industry, explaining how health care is delivered, paid for and governed in the 21st century. Not only will you learn from experienced full-time and practitioner faculty, but from your fellow students as well. Loyola is one of the only law schools in the nation that offers an interdisciplinary focus, so that experienced health care professionals are in the classroom with practicing attorneys and those studying to become lawyers.
