Notice of Intent

Students are encouraged to apply early in their law school tenure. Declaring an intent to pursue a Health Law or Health Care Compliance Certificate creates no obligation to complete one. It does, however, provide students access to a health law advisor who can assist with curricular decisions and experiential learning opportunities. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their advisor at least annually to ensure they are meeting all necessary certificate requirements.

Mitchell Hamline J.D. students have the unique opportunity to earn both the Health Law Certificate and the Health Care Compliance Certificate concurrently without compromising access to important fundamental courses including those heavily tested on the bar exam.
