The Program in Genetics and the Law provides research fellowships and sponsors annual symposia examining the work of the fellows. It is the oldest and, we believe, the leading law journal in its field. There are many avenues for students to become involved in the study of law and science and the efforts of the Center. Students participate in the Center's interdisciplinary research and public service activities as research assistants undertaking tasks such as compiling and editing the proceedings of conferences. One group of students recently prepared a White Paper that provided recommendations for economic development of bioindustry in Arizona.
Students have the opportunity to attend symposia and conferences.
S tudent research assistants also help the law faculty affiliated with the Center in their research and writing. Informal meetings of the Law and Science Student Association are held throughout the academic year. These permit interested and qualified law students to undertake and present original research of their own, or to listen to presentations by invited guests from the college, the university, and the legal community. The College of Law offers a substantial number of courses in the law, science and technology area, and plans to refine and expand the current curriculum.
