“I chose to attend ASU Law because of its health law program. As an ASU law student, I focused my coursework on relevant classes, including earning the Health Law and Policy certificate. These unique classes, taught by leading experts in the field, provided a foundation in understanding diverse health law and related issues, equipping me to navigate the complex, rapidly-changing legal landscape as a public health attorney. Cutting-edge classes and seminars also prepared me to tackle critical policy challenges faced by federal agencies today.”
