LAW 2980 - Advanced Problems in Compensation for Medical Accidents


This course will build upon the foundations laid in the pre-requisite courses. Students will extend their knowledge, skills, and tools by independently modeling, with supervision and instruction, additional decisions selected jointly by each individual student and the instructor. The substantive goal will be to explore in detail a particular area of medical liability in the US of interest to the student – for example, the focus might be on a particular legal issue, a particular type of health care, a particular type of disease, or a particular type of medical evidence. Participation in the course is conditioned upon the permission of the instructor, which will be given only if the student demonstrates proficiency with the modeling methodology and an interest in modeling decisions that have sufficient pedagogical value.

Prerequisites & Notes
Students must have successfully completed Module 1 (the three courses entitled “Comparative Health Care Liability: Compensation for Medical Accidents,” “Comparative Health Care Regulation” and “Technology-Based Analysis of Legal Reasoning”). In addition, students must have demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Program faculty, their ability to conduct independent research using the analytic methodology, as well as the pedagogical value of the particular area of medical liability they wish to study.
