09/27/2022
The William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health at IU McKinney School of Law was named a top school for health law in 2022-2023.
The publication singled out the Hall Center in a feature story “A pulse on the healthcare industry” and observes that “The health program Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law does 3 things well: researching, educating and mentoring.”
The story includes an extensive interview with Hall Center Executive Director Nicolas Terry, who explains the ever-expanding field of health law, its specialized legal need for “nimble” lawyers and offers advice to students considering the field. The story also features an interview with 3L Madison Hernandez, who will graduate in December with a J.D. as well as a master’s degree in public health.
Both Terry and Hernandez highlight the special emphasis on advising and the Hall Center Mentor Board.
“This connection helped me make the right choices early on, such as applying for the health law certificate, joining Health Law Society and applying for the dual degree program,” she told preLaw.
PreLaw grades the nation’s health law programs based on the breadth of their curricular offerings, including opportunities such as externships, certificates, clinic experiences and student organizations.
The William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health was established in 1987 to expand the curriculum and teaching of health law and provide opportunities for students. The Hall Center offers more than 30 health law-related courses as well as a Certificate in Health Law, six joint degrees in health-related fields, and a LL.M. in Health Law, Policy, and Bioethics. In addition to hosting a multitude of events, symposia and the annual Health Law Grand Rounds lecture series, the Hall Center publishes the Indiana Health Law Review.
