Health Law and Policy Clinic of the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation (LSC)

> Visit the Legal Services Center Website

Students enrolled in the Health Law and Policy Clinic of the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation will participate in a broad range of national and state law and policy initiatives aimed at increasing access to quality, comprehensive health care for poor and low-income individuals and families—especially those living with chronic medical conditions.

Through the clinic, students work to inform cutting-edge policy recommendations at the state and national levels in both the legislative and regulatory arenas. Student projects have involved informing both national and state level implementation of the Affordable Care Act through regulatory comments and analysis, providing law and policy analysis to national and state coalitions advocating to protect the Medicaid program, and investigating best practices at the state and local level, to support the development of new initiatives to increase access to treatment and service programs specifically designed to serve vulnerable populations.
