Description
The Center for Health Law Studies at Saint Louis University School of Law will host its 34th Health Law Symposium, which will explore themes related to climate change, environmental justice and the public health. At a time in which the disparate impact of climate change has become the subject of daily news, the symposium brings together scholars and practitioners to reflect on the implications of a warming planet for health law and policy, environmental justice and equity. Due to the pandemic, the event will be held via Zoom. Registration is free. The proceedings will be published in the Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy.
