Projects & Publications

The interdisciplinary aim of the Center is reflected through the wide spectrum of the Center’s work. Our faculty, scholars in residence, and students conduct research, produce publications in legal journals as well as periodicals that connect with the broader health care community, and write amicus briefs in some of the most important health law cases of our time. With established relationships with the Yale School of Medicine, Yale Cancer Center, Yale-New Haven Hospital, Yale School of Management, and Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics, the Solomon Center serves as the University’s hub for interdisciplinary efforts to improve health care.

Learn about Center projects, our periodic newsletter, and scholarship by our faculty and affiliates, as well as students.

Gun Violence in America: An Interdisciplinary Examination

In 2020, the Solomon Center joined forces with the faculty and staff of the Justice Collaboratory and Professor Ian Ayres to host an interdisciplinary seminar this spring called “Law, Policy & Guns.” Through collaborative research with physicians and faculty from across the university as well as gun policy experts and litigators from across the country, students co-authored original scholarship making concrete and timely interventions in the debate about gun violence. The 26 articles resulting from the seminar were published in the 2020 winter supplement of the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, Gun Violence in America: An Interdisciplinary Examination.

AI and Robots in Health Care Special Issue

In November 2018, the Solomon Center and the Information Society Project co-hosted a cutting-edge interdisciplinary roundtable exploring "The Law and Policy of AI, Robotics, and Telemedicine in Health Care." The roundtable brought together thirty leading academics, lawyers, physicians, policy makers, and health technology entrepreneurs to explore how novel technologies are revolutionizing health care, reshaping what it means to practice medicine, challenging existing regulatory schemes, and informing norms about patient information, data, and privacy. In conjunction with the roundtable, the Yale Journal of Law and Technology produced a special issue released in the fall of 2019 containing the top new scholarship emerging from the conference.
