Duke Law School
Health Law Society


From bioethics to bioterrorism and everything in between…
Tackling issues at the forefront of American legal and political discourse

The Health Law Society is an interdisciplinary organization of students and faculty with interests in exploring professional and academic aspects of health care. The Society focuses on the following general areas: curricular expansion and integration, public service and education, and professional development. HLS draws on the surrounding academic community to bring educational events to the law school, and draw on the diverse resources available within our membership to build the understanding of health care law issues within the law school.
