Seton Hall Professor Carl Coleman advises the retreat is open to anyone with an academic appointment in health law (including professors, fellows, and visitors) in any institution of higher education in the mid-Atlantic area. If you are interested in attending, RSVP to Carl Coleman at mailto:carl.coleman@shu.edu by February 3.
Draft papers will be circulated by the last week of January, and all attendees will be expected to have read the papers before the retreat.
