Other contributors speak to the student experience, with Dianne McCarthy on mentorship, Laura Stephens on demanding excellence, Michael Ulrich on teaching, and Larry Vernaglia on merging law and public health. On FGW's broader impacts, Nicole Huberfeld speaks to the translation of research to reach new audiences, and Kevin Outterson writes about FGW's pivotal roles in establishing the health law field and the institutions that now define it.Together these pieces testify to the astounding contributions of these scholar-teacher-leaders across many domains and dimensions of health law.
