Health Law Society
Faculty Advisor: Megan Bess
The Health Law Society (HLS) is a student-run organization that seeks to raise awareness of health law related legal issues, generate student interest within the field, and facilitate an ongoing dialogue regarding health law and related legal issues.
Prominent among these activities are a mentorship program, monthly newsletter, guest speakers, information sessions, community service opportunities, wellness activities, participation in American Health Lawyer Association teleconferences, and social events.
Loyola's Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy serves as the center of operations for HLS, which welcomes all members of the Law School community to its membership. Active participation in the Health Law Society is required for those J.D. students who are seeking a health law certificate. You can contact the Health Law Society at healthlawsociety@luc.edu.
