Jaharis Health Law Institute (JHLI)

MARY

FROM THE DIRECTORS

The one constant about health law is that it is ever changing. That was no exception this past academic year, as the Jaharis Health Law Institute (JHLI) continued to progress through new opportunities in scholarship, programming and experiential learning for our students.

Associate Dean for Academic Affairs & Strategic Initiatives, Associate Professor of Law Max Helveston, led JHLI as faculty director last year, and in 2023–2024 he is co-directing the Institute with Associate Dean of Research & Faculty Professional Development, Professor of Law Wendy Netter Epstein. In keeping with the consistency of change, JHLI Executive Director Alice Setrini left DePaul this past summer to become a clinical teaching fellow, and we wish her the best on her journey.

JHLI faculty continue to be prolific scholars. Professor Epstein, with collaborators from Boston, Brown and George Mason universities and support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, completed a two-year empirical project exploring moral framing’s potential to incentivize the purchase of health insurance. Indeed, all JHLI-affiliated professors and fellows have forthcoming articles, which you can read about below.

They, along with another former JHLI executive director, Katherine Schostok (JD ’08), also participated in the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics Health Law Professors Conference this past June, which was a fantastic way to cap off a year full of teaching and learning.

JHLI also continued to provide varied and impactful health law programming. Collaborations between DePaul’s centers, student organizations, and national and local legal advocacy organizations allowed for innovative and timely programming that reflected the changing nature of health law and its impact on our communities.

Our welcome event brought together the DePaul Law Student Bar Association; constitutional law scholar, DePaul Professor of Law David Franklin; and ACLU staff attorney and DePaul alumna Rachel Johnson (JD ’14) to talk about Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Our lunch lecture series focused on innovations in the law, ranging from national issues of changing regulations of psychedelic medicines for mental health treatments to a local look at the intersection of public health, mental health and gun violence in Chicago. We also partnered with a variety of health law organizations and connected many of our health law students to experiential learning opportunities through our JHLI Summer Scholars Program, which you also can read more about below.

The annual JHLI symposium, “Unplanned Obsolescence: Reproductive Health Care Technology’s Response to a Changing Legal Landscape,” was held in March 2023. It brought together a multidisciplinary cohort of expert academics, practitioners and advocates to discuss the layered challenges presented by the Dobbs decision for consumer and providers of reproductive health technology.

The mission of JHLI—to create a space for innovation, leadership and learning at the intersection of health care, law and policy—requires flexibility, adaptability and a finger on the pulse of the ever-changing nature of health law. In this way, JHLI cultivates a community that is ready to meet the health law challenges of tomorrow with curiosity and action.

Once again, we are proud to share many of our notable accomplishments from the past academic year in this annual report, and as always, we look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions.

HEALTH LAW FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP & ADVOCACY

PROFESSOR WENDY NETTER EPSTEIN’S article, “The Effects of Price Transparency and Debt Collection Policies on Intentions to Consume Recommended Health Care: A Randomized Vignette Experiment,” with co-authors Christopher T. Robertson and Hansoo Ko, is forthcoming in the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies in 2023. New laws promote price transparency in health care, though effects on patient decision-making are not known and may cause lower-income patients to decline recommended care at higher rates, worsening inequities in health outcomes. The effect of debt collection policies on health care consumption also has been insufficiently studied. Deploying a nationally representative sample and a full factorial, controlled experiment in a standardized clinical vignette model, the authors found that when a price is higher than expected, it causes patients to be nearly 1.5 times as likely to decline recommended/ valuable care. Also, collections disclosure can be even more important than price disclosure in affecting patient decisions; disclosing aggressive collections policies increases the risk of declining care at higher rates for low-income patients.

PROFESSOR MAX HELVESTON’S article, “ Regulating Economic Opportunism in Post-Disaster Markets,” is forthcoming in the North Carolina Law Review in 2023. The article analyzes a particular type of consumer protection law—anti-price gouging laws—that have been thrust into the spotlight by the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent disasters. While antipricing gouging statutes have existed for decades, the scale of the market disruptions witnessed in the past few years have put them into the public consciousness like never before. While this publicity has led to coverage in popular media and a surge of interest from scholars, these laws have been severely undertheorized within the legal academy. After reviewing the traditional legal and economic objections to anti-price gouging laws, the article establishes the flaws in these arguments. Not only are they shown to be theoretically unsound, but they also are demonstrably undermined by recent qualitative data. The adoption of specific reforms to anti-price gouging laws would help protect consumers from exploitation while minimizing negative externalities.

PROFESSOR JOSHUA SARNOFF’S article, “ Compelling Trade Secret Transfers,” with co-author David S. Levine (Elon), was published in the Hastings Law Journal in 2023. The article describes the failures in COVID-19 responses resulting from trade secrets that were not voluntarily licensed and explains why patent law disclosures have been inadequate to assure competitive global research, development and production. Consistent with international law obligations, governments are free to compel trade secret sharing and may not be obliged to award compensation for such sharing when regulating to address public health. The article canvasses existing United States, European and other authorities that have been or could be used to compel the sharing or licensing of trade secrets and notes the potential to adopt more explicit legislation authorizing compelled or induced behaviors. It provides a first critical step toward rethinking the nature of international trade secret protections and seeks to develop the political will for governments to protect the global public from the harms that trade secret rights can generate.

PROFESSOR MARK WEBER’S article, “ Special Education Cause Lawyers,” is forthcoming in the Case Western Reserve Law Review in 2024. This essay is the first study of the work of lawyers who view educational rights for children with disabilities as a social cause. The research consists of structured interviews of select attorneys from around the country and tests whether the conclusions about disability cause lawyers drawn by Waterstone, Stein and Wilkins (in Disability Cause Lawyers, their pathbreaking study of 13 leading attorneys involved in disability rights work) hold true for special education cause lawyers. Following the approach in that paper, this study considers attorneys’ backgrounds, practice structure and financing, connections to social movement organizations and modes of advocacy. The scholarly debate on cause lawyering is extensive and contentious, and this study concludes that lawyers who engage in the cause of educational rights of children with disabilities, like other disability cause lawyers, face challenges of litigation financing, wary courts and a splintered social movement. Nonetheless, they manage to avoid practices that some students of cause lawyers have criticized: being entranced with paper victories in court and engaging too much with legal elites and not enough with the social movement.

JAHARIS FACULTY FELLOW JULIE L. CAMPBELL’S article, “Systemic Failures in Health Care Oversight,” is forthcoming in the Georgia Law Review in 2024. Hospitals are intentionally shirking their duty to identify and report incompetent medical practitioners, and it is causing catastrophic injuries to patients. Two decades of health care reforms have changed the way physicians and hospitals interact in the U.S. health care system, and as a result, the traditional health care oversight tools no longer work to ensure physician competence. Campbell’s article offers a solution: switch the databank from a blacklist of incompetent practitioners to a database for the employment and hospital affiliation histories for all medical practitioners and also have the National Practitioner Data Bank or a private accreditation organization require that all hospitals complete a mandatory questionnaire for all practitioners during the credentialing process.

JAHARIS FACULTY FELLOW RICK WEINMEYER’S article, “Lavatories of Democracy: Recognizing a Right to Public Toilets through International Human Rights and State Constitutional Law,” is forthcoming in the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law in 2024. Based on Weinmeyer’s research, the United States is a public toilet nightmare. Truly public toilets are a rarity, while the restrooms provided by private businesses are inconsistently available via “customer only” policies and the discriminatory actions of owners and their employees. The result is an accumulation of entirely preventable public health harms, including outbreaks of infectious disease, illness and dignitary harms. This article is the first to provide a comprehensive review of U.S. toilet law—the laws and policies that determine where bathrooms are provided and who has access to them—and diagnose its failings. It is clear that the status quo has failed to address this most basic human biological necessity. The article ultimately makes the case that recognizing a state constitutional right to public bathrooms is the best way to address the United States’ ongoing public toilet crisis. Drawing from recent developments in international human rights, it sets forth the basis on which courts could recognize a right to public toilets as part of a state constitution’s public health provision.

FORMER JHLI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

ALICE SETRINI’S article, “Using Racial Justice Principles in Medical-Legal Partnership Design and Implementation,” is forthcoming in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics. Medical-Legal Partnerships have the potential to address racial health disparities by improving the conditions that constitute the social determinants of health.

To live up to this potential, these partnerships must intentionally incorporate racial justice principles into their design and implementation. Otherwise, they are likely to replicate the systemic barriers that lead to racialized health disparities.

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

46th Annual American Society of Medicine, Law & Ethics Health Law Professors Conference

The 46th Annual American Society of Medicine, Law & Ethics Health Law Professors Conference was held in June 2023 at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law in Baltimore. Former JHLI Executive Director Alice Setrini, JHLI Faculty Co-Directors Wendy Epstein and Max Helveston, JHLI Faculty Fellows Julie Campbell and Rick Weinmeyer, and JHLI Board Member Katherine Schostok (JD ’08) presented on various panels throughout the conference.

Setrini and Schostok spoke on a panel focused on teaching tools in health law courses. Setrini presented on “Using Experiential Learning Tools to Meet the Goals of ABA Standard 303(c),” looking at how discussions of racial justice, history and implicit bias in health can be used to meet the requirements of this new standard. Schostok presented on “Creating an Effective Online Course,” sharing best practices for making any course engaging and effective in an on-line environment.

Weinmeyer presented on a panel covering hot topics in public health, where he discussed his work on the need for protected rights to public toilet facilities. Campbell and Helveston both presented on a panel about accountability in the practice of medicine, where Campbell shared her forthcoming article on systemic failures in patient care oversight, and Helveston discussed what’s to be done with the “New Charlatan” social media influencers that push unproven, sometimes dangerous medical cures for a wide range of health needs. Finally, Epstein presented on the results of her research on the challenges of engaging individuals in the health insurance market and the potential use of social solidarity messaging to increase U.S. insurance enrollment.

2023 – 2024 JAHARIS FACULTY FELLOWS

The DePaul Law Jaharis Faculty Fellows Program provides scholars interested in pursuing careers in legal academia with an avenue for creating and disseminating their scholarship and teaching courses where two dynamic legal fields increasingly intersect—health law and intellectual property/information technology. Jaharis

Fellows work with and are mentored by faculty from DePaul’s nationally ranked Mary and Michael Jaharis Health Law Institute and Center for Intellectual Property Law & Information Technology. The JHLI Faculty Fellows Program has an excellent track record for enabling new scholars to develop their academic voice and connecting them with long-term academic positions.

This year, JHLI is grateful to have our current faculty fellows return for the second year of their fellowships. In addition to their rigorous teaching and writing demands, they are an integral part of the JHLI programming and student mentorship and support ecosystem.

As our current fellows graduate from the program at the end of this year, we will soon begin accepting applications for the 2024–2025 Jaharis Faculty Fellows.

JULIE L. CAMPBELL is a health law attorney, certified health care compliance specialist, medical ethicist and medicallegal scholar. In her teaching and research, she views the health care system through an interdisciplinary lens, identifying problems that impact patient care and health outcomes, with a focus on how technological advances in medicine impact patient decision-making and the dying process. She also is passionate about correcting systemic errors that contribute to premature death.

Previously, Campbell was a senior fellow with the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago and a health law consultant to the New York Times documentary series “New York Times Presents.” She also is an experienced litigator with a focus on representing physicians and health care institutions on contract matters, consulting on medical malpractice lawsuits and recently working within the American Medical Association’s Litigation Center. Campbell has taught various health law courses for both DePaul and Loyola University Chicago. She received her BA and BS from Miami University, her JD with honors from Chicago-Kent and her LLM in Health Law from Loyola University Chicago.

RICK WEINMEYER is a PhD candidate in social sciences and public health at Northwestern University. He researches important questions of public health law, health policy and bioethics, and applies mixed methods to empirical questions in health law. His dissertation explores the public toilet crisis in the United States and provides an in-depth look at the legal and policy changes needed to improve public toilet availability and accessibility.

Prior to pursuing his PhD, Weinmeyer spent four years serving as a senior research associate for the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs at the American Medical Association (AMA). During his tenure with the AMA, he researched and wrote on subjects at the intersection of health policy, public health law and medical ethics, including expanded access to unapproved drugs, religious and philosophical vaccination exemptions, and hospital mergers and their impact on patient care. Weinmeyer earned his BA in political science from the University of Washington, his MPhil in sociology from Cambridge University, and his JD and MA in Health Law and Bioethics from the University of Minnesota.

JHLI PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

2023 Jaharis Health Law Symposium

UNPLANNED OBSOLESCENCE: REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGY’S RESPONSE TO A CHANGING LEGAL LANDSCAPE

JHLI welcomed scholars, practitioners, students and alumni to campus for the annual Jaharis Health Law Symposium in March 2023. This day-long event, co-sponsored by the Center for Intellectual Property Law & Information Technology, centers on an issue at the intersection of health law, information technology and intellectual property.

This year’s program, “Unplanned Obsolescence: Reproductive Health Care Technology’s Response to a Changing Legal Landscape,” took a deep dive into the fallout from the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision on various aspects of reproductive health care technology. We heard from leading scholars, policymakers and practitioners in the field of reproductive health care technology on the impact the Dobbs decision had on providers, patients and health systems. There was lively discussion between panelists and moderators on the rapidly changing reproductive health care landscape and how law makers, policy advocates, academics and practitioners are involved in shaping that environment.

Our first panel shared insights on the most likely future legal battlegrounds for reproductive health care—federalism and medication abortion and contraceptive care. Panelists discussed the Texas appellate court decision blocking the FDA’s approval of mifepristone for use in medication abortion, as well as potential future challenges to rights to travel across state lines or to receive medication for reproductive care through the mail. The second panel consisted of an interdisciplinary discussion between experts on the legal and ethical challenges facing physicians utilizing reproduction assisting technology.

Our featured speaker, Professor of Law Radhika Rao, the Harry and Lillian Hastings Research Chair at UC Law San Francisco, shared

insights from her time clerking on the U.S. Supreme Court under Justice Blackmun. In her keynote speech, Professor Rao provided unique insights that placed the Dobbs decision into a more comprehensive historical context. She also shared her concerns, as well as some reasons for optimism, for the future of reproductive health care in the U.S.

The 2023 Symposium is available to view for CLE credit. Next year’s symposium will be held on March 14, 2024, and it will address the timely subject of the role of Artificial Intelligence in health care.

Lunch Lecture Series

JHLI hosted impactful and timely lunch lecture programs for our students and the broader DePaul community. In the Fall, we held a community conversation on the intersection of public health, mental health and gun violence in Chicago. The program was an interprofessional look at how our brains change with the chronic stress of gun violence; the public and community impact of those individuals affected; and new innovations in addressing those impacts. The program was moderated by DePaul law alumna and College of Law Diversity Council member, Tiffany Mims (JD ’19); Dr. Donald Tyler, director of clinical services at anti-violence organization Chicago CRED; and Dr. Linda Degutis, Yale University School of Public Health.

Our second Lunch Lecture brought back DePaul law alumnus Matthew Brockmeier (JD ’09) and introduced Ariel Clark, a founding board member of the Psychedelic Bar Association, to discuss the changes in regulatory and health frameworks around using plant-based medicines for treatment of mental health disorders.

Criminalization of Our Neighborhoods Series

In the Spring, JHLI co-hosted a program with DePaul’s law and university libraries and the law school’s Center for Public Interest Law as part of the “The Criminalization of Our Neighbors” series, which looked at environmental racism in Chicago. This program brought together scholars, scientists, advocates and affected community members to share the history, current reality, and growing resistance and resilience of some of the city’s most marginalized communities. Speakers from Health Equity Cook County, NRDC, Block Club Chicago and People for Community Recovery joined DePaul law faculty and alumni to share a 360-degree view of the long history of environmental racism in Chicago. The program ended on a positive note, sharing how advocacy organizations, community gardens and programs like Top Box Foods are working to improve health in neglected neighborhoods.

Chicago Health Law Professors Workshop

In May 2023, JHLI continued its annual tradition of co-hosting a faculty scholarship workshop with Loyola University Chicago School of Law. Over the course of the day, health law scholars from DePaul, Loyola and Chicago-Kent presented their research and received feedback from colleagues, including those from the University of Chicago and University of Illinois Chicago law schools.

HEALTH LAW CURRICULUM

DePaul College of Law’s Health Law Program consistently ranks among the nation’s best. One of the strengths of our program is that the curriculum encompasses both the theory and practice of health law, with attention to both depth and breadth. The health law experience at DePaul is informed by scholars and practitioners so students are exposed to essential areas of health law, including social, ethical, corporate, regulatory and policy issues.

JHLI SUMMER SCHOLARS

Throughout the school year, JHLI students have opportunities to participate in a variety of externships in the Chicagoland area. JHLI uses its relationships with health systems, law firms, pharmaceutical companies, health information technology companies and health care associations to provide participating students with the most valuable placements possible.

JHLI also coordinates a Summer Scholars Program, which provides selected students with a stipend for what would otherwise be unpaid summer internships. The primary goal of the program is to create a pipeline of practice-ready health law advocates through hands-on experiential learning opportunities.

This past year, students were placed at:

• American Medical Association

• Health Law Consultancy

• Homeward Health

• Illinois Human and Family Services, Office of Inspector General

• iRythym Technologies

• Legal Aid Chicago

• Shirley Ryan Ability Lab

• Sinai Health System

• U.S. Department of Justice

Students worked with prominent health care practitioners and companies to develop practical skills and gain exposure to various facets of health law. These programs, in addition to our ongoing relationships with members of our advisory board, allow us to continue strengthening the connection between practicing health law attorneys in the city and our JHLI student fellows.

Neena Burns

SINAI HEALTH SYSTEM

“Through the JHLI Summer Scholars Program, I had the opportunity to intern with Mount Sinai Hospital. As a legal intern, I was able to work directly with the hospital’s in-house counsel on a variety of legal matters ranging from research on HIPAA compliance to data privacy regulations. What I enjoyed most about this position was that I received meaningful assignments on day one. Working in the hospital and seeing medical professionals in passing on a daily basis made for a new experience. Seeing the team you are essentially working with as one entity with the common goal of protecting the patient while remaining in compliance was a unique opportunity.”

Sofia Fernandez

AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

“This summer I worked at the American Medical Association (AMA) with the Science, Medicine and Public Health team. I worked on a range of issues from vaccine mandates to cannabis legalization to gun violence, researching the legal feasibility and implications of AMA policies on each topic. I also attended the annual AMA House of Delegates meeting where representatives from across the country meet to vote on AMA policies each year, and I assisted with writing policy reports coming out of that meeting. It was interesting to gain experience doing legal work for a professional association, and I look forward to using the legal research skills I honed going forward.”

Haley Limbrick SHIRLEY RYAN ABILITY LAB

“My summer internship at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, in its Office of General Counsel and Corporate Compliance, was an incredibly rewarding experience. Assisting the legal team, I conducted extensive research of regulatory compliance, privacy laws and health care policies. The dynamic environment, collaborative spirit and impactful projects made each day enjoyable. I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunities for growth and the lasting impression Shirley Ryan AbilityLab has left on my career aspirations. I eagerly anticipate applying the knowledge and skills I gained through this experience in my upcoming classes, further enriching my educational journey here at DePaul Law.”

Alexandra Letto OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL

“During my internship at the Office of the Inspector General, I have been amazed at the diverse health law opportunities beyond traditional law firms. This experience has opened my eyes to the multitude of paths available, and as a legal intern, I have learned invaluable lessons that will shape my future career in this dynamic field.”
