The DePaul Journal of Health Care Law, Mary and Michael Jaharis Health Law Institute, and Center for Intellectual Property Law & Information Technology (CIPLIT®) are excited to announce a Call for Papers in connection with the 2025 Jaharis Health Law Symposium.
This year’s topic, “Cyber Threats and Health Law: Strategies for a Safer Health Care Future,” will explore how to create a roadmap for addressing emerging cybersecurity challenges in health care. Prominent legal scholars and expert practitioners will address a range of questions through panels focusing on cybersecurity in health systems, law enforcement and emerging legal issues.
Three papers will be selected from the submissions. Each selected author will receive a $1500 honorarium and their article (of approximately 10,000 words) will be published in the Symposium issue of the DePaul Journal of Health Care Law. Full article drafts will be due by June 1, 2025.
We are open to a wide range of topics consistent with the Symposium theme but are particularly interested in papers from scholars with diverse experiences and backgrounds researching health cybersecurity and emerging legal issues, as well as papers from junior scholars.
The Symposium will be held both in-person and remotely at DePaul College of Law in Chicago on March 6, 2025. Presenters able to appear in person will receive reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words to
jsarnoff@depaul.edu by
January 17, 2025, with the subject line “2025 Jaharis Symposium: Call for Papers." Authors also may submit an optional statement of no more than 500 words describing how their selection would enhance the diversity of the Symposium.
