Seattle University School of Law Receives ABA Approval for LLM in Elder Law

As reported in The National Jurist, Seattle University School of Law has been approved by the ABA for an LLM program in elder law.  The Elder Law LLM will be “added soon,” along with new LLM programs in tribal law and technology.  Details include:

The elder law LL.M. will train attorneys to provide representation, advocacy, and leadership in the areas of law that impact seniors and people with disabilities. Courses will cover a wide range of legal issues, including health care coverage, age discrimination, and protection from abuse and neglect.

According to an ABA website here, other law schools with LLMs in Elder Law include (of course!) Stetson University, University of Kansas, Touro University and Western New England University. Review of the linked websites suggests to me that at Touro, the LLM program may have evolved into or merged with a resource center and research platform with the title Aging & Longevity Law Institute.  I was unable to find any current information on an LLM at University of Kansas.
