It is easy to see why the health law program at Seton Hall Law School is one of the best in the country.  Both partners and associates alike have been impressed with the level of sophistication and substantive health care law that is provided to students in the Program."

"Even after having a young family and working in the healthcare industry as a nurse consultant, I have discovered the excitement in the study of law at Seton Hall Law School. The learning process has provided me with an understanding that the law, especially health law, is not static, nor is there always a right or wrong answer." 
Patricia Furci, J.D., Class of 2003, Bessler and Company, Consultant: New Jersey

"Through Seton Hall’s Health Law and Policy Program, I was able to obtain both academic and practical experience on specific, cutting edge health law and policy issues. My participation in the program, which included an externship at JFK Health System (now Solaris Health System), substantially facilitated my transition from a law student to a practicing attorney in Epstein Becker & Green’s national health law practice."
Michael Bell, J.D., Class of 1997, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky, & Popeo, P.C., Associate: Washington, D.C.

"As an advocate for the health care rights of special needs populations, I brought to the table my knowledge of best health care practices. It wasn’t until I enrolled in the M.S.J. program that I learned how to understand the legal perspective other players brought to the policy decision-making process. My classes gave me the common ground of statutory and case law that makes me better informed and a better communicator. I am a more effective advocate for the needs of my constituency because of Seton Hall Law. What I learned was stimulating, provocative and relevant."
Doug Berman, M.S.J., Class of 1999, The Children’s Health Fund, Policy Analyst: Manhattan

"The LL.M. Program has provided me with the unique opportunity to learn from the varied viewpoints of individuals from all areas of the healthcare industry. This experience has enabled me to operate as an in-house attorney at a pharmaceutical company and to better understand the broad legal issues facing the ever-changing environment of this complex industry."
