The Center for Law and Biomedical Sciences presents
The 2025 Law & Biomedicine Colloquium
The Law and Biomedicine Colloquium brings together scholars, practitioners in our community, law students, and law faculty for seminar-style discussion of complex and controversial topics in the field. We are excited to be welcoming distinguished scholars from other law schools, as well as leaders in legal practice in law and the biosciences. Registered students at the College of Law will receive one hour of credit for participating in the colloquium; other interested participants are welcome to join us. There will be time for questions and answers and casual conversation. Visit the Center’s web page to learn more about the Center for Law and Biomedical Sciences.
