Planning: Mid-Atlantic Works-in-Progress Retreat Opportunity for Health Law Scholars

Professor Carl H. Coleman at Seton Hall Law School in Newark, New Jersey, sent us advance news about a works-in-progress retreat scheduled for February 10, 2017.  Professor Coleman explained:

Seton Hall Law School’s Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy is pleased to announce the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Health Law Works-in-Progress Retreat, which will be held on February 10, 2017, at Seton Hall Law School in Newark, New Jersey.  The purpose of the retreat is to give regional health law scholars an opportunity to share their work and exchange ideas in a friendly, informal setting.  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.

The retreat will consist of an in-depth discussion of approximately 5-6 draft papers.  A designated commentator will first provide a 10-15 minute overview of each paper, as well as his or her reactions.  The author will then have 5 minutes to respond, following which all retreat participants will participate in a general discussion of the draft.

Persons interested in having their papers presented should submit a preliminary draft or, if that is not possible, a detailed abstract, no later than November 18 to Carl Coleman at carl.coleman@shu.edu, using the description “Mid-Atlantic Health Law Retreat” in the regarding line of the emailed submission.   Papers to be presented will be selected by December 9, and final drafts will be due on January 20.  Drafts will be made available to all participants on a password-protected website.

Contact Professor Coleman with any questions. This looks like a fabulous workshop opportunity. Thanks, Carl!
