On Thursday, March 21st, IndyBar's Law Student Division partnered with the Hall Center for Law and Health for Breakfast with the Bar: Health Law. Several IU McKinney law students were in attendance to learn about the health law practice field from distinguished Indianapolis attorneys. Our panelists included: Jacob Butz, Ice Miller; Tara Lutes, IU Health; Drew Warner, Krieg DeVault; Chris Kulik, Krieg DeVault; Professor Jami Sayeed, IU McKinney.
Students discussed with our panelists a variety of health law topics and learned that health law is a diverse field, touching upon other practice areas such as employment law, insurance law, and corporate law. The panelists encouraged the students to embrace the ever changing legislation and regulations that cause attorneys in this field to constantly adapt, learn new things and take on new challenges in his or her work.
The panelists in attendance came from a wide range of backgrounds such as large firms, in-house cousnel, and government work allowing students to see the many options available to them in health law post-graduation. Although the panelists work in different environments, they all recommended students take Employment Law, Closely Held Business Organizations, Contract Drafting, and Intro to Health Law while in law school to prepare for a career in this field. Furthermore, the students were encouraged to participate in clinics and externships to gain valuable real-world experience which would help them transition from law school to practice.
The IndyBar Law Student Division thanks our panelists for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend the Breakfast with the Bar. We also thank the Hall Center for Law and Health for partnering with us to put on this event and ensure its success.

The Law Student Division’s final Breakfast with the Bar of the year will be held on April 11th and will focus on Environmental Law.
