Speaker: Michael Ulrich, JD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Health Law, Ethics, & Human Rights, Boston University School of Public Health and School of Law
Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Location: Zoom Webinar
Please join us for this Fall Series Virtual Grand Rounds presentation with 1.0 hour Indiana CLE (pending approval), featuring Michael R. Ulrich, JD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Health Law, Ethics, & Human Rights, Boston University School of Public Health and School of Law.
The talk will discuss the gun violence epidemic in the United States and how the Supreme Court's most recent Second Amendment decision is likely to exacerbate the problem. In particular, the presentation will discuss how the Court ignored public health research in reaching its decision and may have created a barrier in the relevance of empirical data in future evaluations of constitutionality for firearm laws. This could have a broad impact on health outcomes, well beyond the increasing rate of firearm homicides, and may be especially problematic for minoritized, marginalized, and underserved populations.
