The Law & Health Care Program at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law invites you to our final virtual talk in the 2024/2025 Rothenberg Health Care Law and Policy Speaker Series, concluding the series on the many ways discrimination manifests in the health care setting, and what legal scholars, policymakers, and practitioners can do to address these disparities. The event will be held at 4:30 p.m. March 27.
As our final 2024/2025 speaker, we are pleased to welcome our distinguished guest Samuel Bagenstos, JD, the Frank G. Millard Professor of Law at the University of Michigan. Bagenstos’ talk is titled "Disability Discrimination in Health After COVID."
Bagenstos recently returned to Michigan Law after a four-year leave serving in the federal government as general counsel to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Management and Budget. He had also previously served in the U.S. Department of Justice from 2009-2011, where he served as the principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights, where, among other work, he helped promulgate the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations and led the reinvigoration of the Civil Rights Division’s enforcement of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C., which guarantees people with disabilities the right to live and receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate.
As an academic, Bagenstos has published articles in journals such as Yale Law Journal, Stanford Law Review, Columbia Law Review, California Law Review, Virginia Law Review, Cornell Law Review, Georgetown Law Journal, and many others. He also has published two books: "Law and the Contradictions of the Disability Rights Movement" (Yale University Press, 2009) and "Disability Rights Law: Cases and Materials" (Foundation Press, 2010); he is now working on the fourth edition of the latter. Additionally, he has written articles for nonacademic audiences in publications such as Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, The American Prospect, Washington Monthly, Slate, and The New Republic.
