Biography

Associate Dean and Professor Kathleen Boozang, has dedicated much of her career to nonprofit governance issues, with a special focus on religiously-sponsored hospitals. In the last several years, however, she has expanded her research and teaching to explore the legal and policy issues related to the global pharmaceutical and medtech industries, many of which make New Jersey their headquarters. As Associate Dean for Academic Advancement, Dean Boozang oversees Seton Hall’s strategic initiatives and Centers of Excellence. These include the Center for Social Justice, the newly established Gibbons Institute of Law, Science and Technology, the Center for Health and Pharmaceutical Law, the Law School’s Graduate Programs, Skills Curriculum, admissions, public relations and faculty development.

In addition to her duties at the Law School, Dean Boozang serves on the Board of Directors of the American Health Lawyers Association (AHLA). She also serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Health and Life Sciences Law. Dean Boozang is a past editor in chief of the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics and past president of the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics. She also previously sat on the Journal of Health Law Advisory Board.

Throughout her legal career, Dean Boozang has been active in public service. She has served on numerous advisory boards and committees for healthcare providers and for the states of New Jersey and New York, including serving as an advisor to the Attorney General Task Force on Physician Compensation by Pharmaceutical Companies, which sought to determine if and how patient care in New Jersey is impacted by the practice of pharmaceutical companies giving gifts and other compensation to physicians. She is currently a member of the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law, an interdisciplinary commission with a mandate to develop public policy on bioethical issues.

Dean Boozang graduated from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, Mo., where she was inducted into the Order of the Coif and served as the managing editor of Law Quarterly. She received her L.L.M. from Yale Law School in 1990.
