UI law class to examine new health care reform law

A class next fall at the University of Iowa College of Law will examine the recently passed health care reform law, and the instructor says the syllabus won’t lack for material.

“The law is mammoth, more than 2,000 pages long, so we’ll have plenty to study,” said Herbert Hovenkamp, professor of law. “If anything, we’ll have a hard time fitting it into a semester.”

The colloquium style class will meet weekly through the semester and is offered by the law school’s Innovation, Business and Law Center. Hovenkamp, one of the center’s faculty members, said the class will analyze legal issues presented by the country’s new health care policy. Given its sweeping nature, he said the issues are many and broad.

“It touches virtually every aspect of the law that we can think of,” he said. “Almost every law college graduate who practices in an area with a significant regulatory component can benefit from learning about the health care reform law.”

This looks pretty interesting - I hope they make some of their work available to the public.
