Seton Hall Law Professor Jennifer D. Oliva designed and will teach a new course, COVID-19: Current Topics in Pandemic Law and Policy, believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, this summer. “The spread of
the novel coronavirus has created legal and policy challenges that are largely unprecedented
in the United States—many of which will likely play out in American courts and legislatures
for years to come,” said Professor Oliva. “This course will examine the biomedical
and epidemiological evidence regarding SARS-CoV-2 against the backdrop of the myriad
law and policy issues implicated by the pandemic. As such, the course will require
students to evaluate the SARS-CoV-2 public health emergency from a constitutional,
criminal, administrative, health, employment, privacy, and civil rights law and policy
perspective.” Read full Press Release (5/6/20) here.
