Saint Louis University School of Law’s health law program has, for the third consecutive year, been named by U.S. News & World Report as the best in the nation. Since the rankings for the health law specialty began a decade ago, Saint Louis University‘s Center for Health Law Studies never has been out of the top three. Professor Terry commented, "The largest industry in the United States, health care also is the most regulated. That makes health law education increasingly vital. Health law and policy are extraordinarily important to all Americans,"Terry said. "The quality of lawyers involved in its regulation has a direct and dramatic impact on the delivery of health care in America."
