Seminar – 2 units. This seminar examines health and health care through a social justice lens. It focuses on health risks disproportionately experienced by marginalized communities and individuals. The course critically assesses the role of law in both maintaining and challenging structural inequalities that allocate health risks, impose barriers to health care, and impair quality of care. While the course focuses on health care law, it also addresses the interactions between health law and other areas of law (e.g. immigration law).
