bi-annual journal, which contains articles of particular relevance to health care practitioners, policy
makers and scholars. The Annals has been published since 1992 and is managed and edited entirely by
students. The Annals’ staff members are selected at the end of their second semester of study. All

Summer Issue is devoted to the Annual Health Law and Policy Symposium topic that varies each year.
