AMONG OUR MANY ACTIVITIES:

We analyze law’s role in perpetuating and redressing health disparities among immigrants, minorities and other vulnerable populations.

We research the impact of law enforcement and legal policies on the opioid epidemic, and develop policy recommendations to stem abuse.

We explore the use of legal tools to reduce tobacco use and reverse the obesity epidemic.

We study the regulation of reproductive health, and look at how laws that are meant to help sex workers can have the opposite effect.

We analyze the role of intellectual property and trade laws on access to medicines.

We grapple with the complexities of health care quality reporting and the role of government in our private decisions around health.

We make a difference, in these areas and many others, by asking tough questions, producing high-quality, timely research and by offering solutions that have the power to improve health across the globe.

At Northeastern University School

of Law, our Center for Health Policy and Law brings together leading

scholars who produce pathbreaking

research with the power to create

practical change. We collaborate

across disciplines and continents,

applying our legal expertise to a

wide range of the most critical

health issues, from global health

disparities to health care financing

and public health crises.

• JD/MPH in Urban Health with Northeastern University Bouvé College of Health Sciences

This program recognizes the growing need for professionals trained to respond to unique public health challenges and opportunities facing urban populations. The JD/MPH program brings together interdisciplinary faculty — from the School of Law, D’Amore-McKim School of Business, College of Social Sciences and Humanities, College of Computer and Information Science and the Bouvé College of Health Sciences — with expertise in collaborating with diverse urban populations to provide students with the practice-based knowledge, skills and experience needed to address urban public health problems.

• JD/MPH in Public Health with Tufts University School of Medicine

In line with Northeastern University School of Law and Tufts University School of Medicine’s shared tradition of emphasizing the relationship between public policy and public health, this degree program allows students to choose from a wide array of courses at both institutions. The two schools’ common global perspective and commitment to active citizenship and interdisciplinary scholarship translate into a rich intellectual milieu in which to engage in critical thinking and focus on complex, population-based approaches to health. Students complete co-ops in legal and public health settings.

• JD/MA in Sustainable International Development with Brandeis University

“At the Center for Health Policy and Law, our focus is on harnessing legal tools to make individuals — and populations — more healthy. Whether it’s the opioid crisis or access to affordable health coverage, we engage many of today’s most pressing health policy challenges to generate real-world change.” — PROFESSOR LEO BELETSKY

• Domestic Violence Clinic

Students in the Domestic Violence Clinic assist in the representation of victims of domestic violence in restraining order cases (209A) as well as victims of sexual assault in Harassment Prevention Orders (258E). Restraining orders in Massachusetts include a broad range of relief (including no abuse, stay away conditions, no contact conditions, home surrenders, child custody and child support), designed to help stop the violence or threats of future violence in family or substantive dating relationships. The clinic — part of the law school’s Domestic Violence Institute — also assists community-based domestic violence organizations in longer-term projects related to policy, programming and outreach.

• Public Health Advocacy Clinic

Students in the Public Health Advocacy Clinic work with the law school’s Public Health Advocacy Institute and its Center for Public Health Litigation on legal approaches (including litigation) to improve public health as well as developing sound public health research methodology. Class time is devoted to gaining a basic understanding of the relevant legal foundations of public health advocacy; effectively communicating to a target audience; and discussing the balance between government intervention to set public health policy and individual responsibility in a variety of contexts, such as food, tobacco, alcohol policy and others.

CLINICAL OPPORTUNITIES

• Poverty Law and Practice Clinic

Since its founding in 1980, the Poverty Law and Practice Clinic has represented 8,000 welfare recipients and 4,800 unemployment claimants, and preserved an estimated $20 million in income for those clients and their families. In addition to representing individual clients with welfare, housing, health access and employment needs, the clinic also assists community-based organizations that give poor people a powerful voice for self-determination. The clinic’s case load has expanded to include cases involving immigrant access to public insurance as well as appeals for coverage denial. Students in this clinic appear before administrative, legislative and judicial decisionmakers, and assist with legal needs in the areas of employment, housing and welfare.
