Fallon Lecture Series will focus attention on the leading issues at the interface of health and the law, bringing together students and experts from campus and beyond to fuel productive discussion across these disciplines and helping the University to become an increasingly important contributor to innovative research and training at this important interface. Workshops will be held twice each academic year. Sign-up to receive announcements about the upcoming Fallon Lectures and other Health and Law announcements.
