J.D. Health Law Certificate – Concentration in Food Law
The Health Law Institute (HLI) offers a Health Law Certificate (HLC) with a Concentration in Food Law (HLC-CFL). The HLC-CFL includes a curriculum designed to educate law students about the complex legal, policy and key business issues surrounding and influencing the food system, related rules and regulations. Students will develop skills and the necessary knowledge to serve clients involved in the production, manufacture, processing, handling, storage, transportation, marketing, sale, consumption, and sustainability of food in the United States. They will also learn about advocacy groups working to influence these food-related activities. The HLC-CFL is intended to supplement and refine our existing health law certificate requirements, not replace them. It provides interested students with an opportunity to acquire a better understanding of this dynamic sub-specialty.
