Externship Program |
Seton Hall Law School's
externship program offers J.D. health law students
an opportunity to apply their knowledge in a health
care setting. The externships also provide students
with unparalleled opportunities to meet health care
attorneys and providers who become a bridge to
their career in health
law.
Students pursuing the Health Law concentration
are encouraged to consider doing an internship.
However the externship is not a requirement for
obtaining the concentration.
For more information
about the health law externship, please contact

Julie is the recipient of the newly
instituted Timothy G. Rothwell Health and
Pharmaceutical Law Scholarship. This
scholarship will be awarded yearly to an
outstanding incoming student with an
interest in health law. Julie first
developed an interest in health law while caring
for her seriously ill mother and attempting to
navigate her way through the healthcare system.
"I'm honored to receive the Timothy G. Rothwell
Health and Pharmaceutical Law Scholarship and
find it particularly significant that Mr.
Rothwell was granted the 23rd Annual Human
Services Award by CancerCare, a national
nonprofit organization that provides free
professional support services to anyone affected
by cancer. CancerCare and their volunteers
made a huge difference in my mother's quality of
life. I am grateful to have received a
scholarship named after someone who is active in
a cause that is dear to me."

"It didn't take long
for me to realize that professors at Seton Hall place a strong
emphasis on the
students' success and future. This is evidence both
inside
and outside the classroom. Not only are the professors easily
accessible,
but they also reach out to students, showing that they really do
care. As a health law student, I have seen first hand the the opportunities
in the field are unlimited, and further enhanced by the
reputation of the
faculty and the commitment they make
to their students."

"The strength and national reputation of the
health law program is what brought me to Seton
Hall, and I have not been disappointed. I
find myself challenged and enriched by the
experience every day. The classes I have
taken, in addition to the seminars and symposia
that are offered, have exposed me to industry
trends and current case law. This has not
only given me a solid base from which to launch
my legal career, but has increased by
effectiveness and proficiency in my current
position in managed care."
