Symposia
AJLM hosts an annual symposium convening health law experts to discuss a significant health law issue and publishes related scholarship in an accompanying double issue. Recent AJLM symposia have focused on timely topics like mental health, reproductive health, public health crises, and democracy and health.
The 2027 Symposium, Food: Emerging Legal Issues and Evolving Perspectives, will take place at BU Law on January 29, 2027. The corresponding double issue will be published in Summer 2027.
