• American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics (ASLME) Third Annual Student Health Law Conference

hosted by Seton Hall University School of Law

Friday, October 16, 2009 from 8:30am to 5:00pm in Neward, New Jersey

 

This conference, which is attended by law students from law schools throughout the country, seeks to expose law students to the myriad career paths for attorneys in health and life sciences. The conference provides an introductory session on health law, panels on a variety of employment opportunities in health law, and a networking reception with the conference speakers. In the past, over 180 law students from dozens of law schools as far as the west coast attended the conference. In the current market, I would expect an even greater attendance. Career paths that will be represented include academia, compliance, private firms, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, drug and device companies, health insurers, and hospitals. Our speakers for this year's conference have been chosen for their health law expertise. They know the hiring process both as prospective employees and as employers. They are well suited to provide support and guidance to the next generation of health attorneys during these tenuous economic times. We hope your school will be able to provide financial support for students who wish to attend the conference. The nominal registration fee of $35 pays for student meals. Without exception, the speakers are uncompensated and paying their own travel expenses.
