About the Presenter:

James G. Hodge, Jr., JD, LLM, is a Professor of Public Health Law and Ethics, and Director of the nationally-ranked Center for Public Health Law and Policy at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Arizona State University. Through scholarship, teaching, and applied projects, Professor Hodge delves into multiple areas of health law, public health law, global health law, ethics, and human rights.

Since September 2010, he has also served as Director of the Western Region Office of the Network for Public Health Law, one of 5 centers nationally funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWFJ). Since its inception, the Western Region Office has assisted public health lawyers, officials, practitioners, students, and others across 11 states and nationally on over 2,300 claims.

Webinar Description: Public health law is a multi-faceted field of theory and practice which is constantly changing in response to new challenges, interpretations, and evidence-based findings. Based in part on his text, Public Health Law in a Nutshell (3^rd ed. 2018), Professor James G. Hodge, Jr., JD, LLM, ASU Law, explores the role of law as primary tool for improving public health outcomes. In this session, he will present major pillars underlying the field, examine these pillars through a policy lens, draw practice-based conclusions, and leave you with key “take home” messages. This session is designed to challenge not only how you think about the field of public health law, but also change your perceptions of your critical role within it.
