The Center for Law and Biomedical Sciences will kick-off their 4th annual Law and Biomedicine Colloquium series beginning Wednesday, January 10th with the first speaker Elizabeth D. Winter, Vice President and General Counsel for the University of Utah. The series will run the first eight weeks of Spring semester, and will feature a wide range of exciting topics from privacy to pharmaceutical pricing. The Colloquium aims to introduce students to outstanding scholars and practitioners in areas of law who focus on the contemporary issues involving the law, healthcare, and biosciences, thus showing students how far the law extends and works within these fields.
Students registered at the College of Law will receive one hour of credit for participating. The class roster will be unique this year in that there will be 5 undergraduate students taking the course along with law students, an opportunity made possible through the Health, Society and Policy Program. Yet the series is also free and open for the public to attend. It was wonderful to see that the 2017 Colloquium series met with so much interest from local practitioners and from various departments at the university. We hope (and invite!) all to come and participate again this year and to learn more about the Center for Law and Biomedical Sciences.
There will be a small reception with light refreshments held after the presentations, giving students and the public an opportunity to interact with one another. To learn more about the Colloquium series and schedule, visit the Colloquium’s event page.
