Mission

The Health Law Litigation Committee strives to be the premier resource for healthcare litigators nationwide who wish to become informed of and engage in discussion and debate regarding current and emerging issues and trends in healthcare litigation. To that end, the committee undertakes several key initiatives designed to further this goal:

to provide timely and thoughtful information and analysis regarding current and emerging issues and trends in healthcare litigation through the use of the committee newsletter and website, periodic electronic alerts, and in-person and distance CLE and other programming

to provide committee members with the opportunity to network with other healthcare litigators nationwide through participation in subcommittee work, mentoring, networking events at the Section Annual Conference and ABA Annual meeting, and social media

to provide committee members with the opportunity to become involved in the leadership and substantive work of the committee and subcommittees

Getting involved is easy and the rewards are endless. If you are not already a member of the Health Law Litigation Committee, we encourage you to become a member today!

Message from the Chairs

As chairs of the Health Law Litigation Committee, we welcome you to the committee’s website. We hope that the website will provide you with helpful tools to use in your legal practice and with valuable opportunities to network with health-law litigators nationwide.
These are exciting times for health lawyers with health reform being debated in the U.S. Supreme Court and changes in state and federal law impacting healthcare across the spectrum. The Health Law Litigation Committee aims to keep you informed on current events and provide opportunities for you to network with your peers.

One upcoming networking opportunity is the 2012 Section of Litigation Annual Conference at the J.W. Marriott in Washington D.C. from April 18–20. In addition to more than 45 CLE programs on the latest litigation developments, trends and developments, the annual conference will provide a fantastic opportunity to network and meet Section of Litigation members from across the country in a wide-range of litigation practices, including Health Law Litigation. Here are some highlights from the annual conference:

The “Anatomy of a Trial” full-day program offers a boot camp training program for young lawyers, featuring demonstrations on the many phases of trial, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions with leading trial lawyers from across the country;
Welcome Reception;
“An Evening at the Smithsonian” at The National Museum of American History;
Diversity Leadership Award and John Minor Wisdom Public Service & Professionalism Award Luncheon;
Practice Are and Networking Discussion Luncheon;
Committee Expo.

View the conference webpage for more information including registration.

Also, we are always looking for committee members to become more involved in the workings of the Health Law Litigation Committee by serving in subcommittee leadership positions and contributing articles and other content for our committee newsletter and website. If you are interested in becoming more involved, writing an article or developing an event, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!
