Yet little attention has been devoted to studying this synergistic relationship. The Family Health Law &amp; Policy Institute prepares students for a career relating to family law and policy, health law, or the dynamic intersection of the two. The institute offers a rich curriculum relating to these subjects, including a robust field component, where students acquire real-world experience in a variety of possible settings: the veterans clinic; the medical-legal partnership; relevant law firm practice; clerkships with family law judges; and placements in corporations involved in such diverse areas as pharmaceuticals and insurance. The Institute also offers academic and practitioner-focused symposia and continuing legal education programs, as well as community outreach, and encourages and supports faculty and student research.<\/p>","page_content":"","callouts":[{"type":"info_box","display_title":"Contact Information","title":"Contact Information","content":"<p><strong>Co-Director:<\/strong> Professor John G.
