Abstract

Health law is a complex and diverse practice area, encompassing issues ranging from insurance law and patient privacy to medical malpractice and vaccine law. Researching health law thus entails a combination of primary and secondary resources, statutory and regulatory updates, and often a nuanced or multijurisdictional understanding of healthcare policy. For both career specialists and lawyers who are new to the field, finding accurate, current information on both federal and state-specific health laws is critical.

Luckily, the librarian is in. This guide highlights key resources and practical strategies for effectively researching federal and Virginia health law, tailored to legal practitioners in the Commonwealth.
