"The Health Law Essentials book was the brain child of the ABA Young Lawyers Division's Health Law Committee, whose leaders wanted to provide fellow young healthcare lawyers a starting point for a vast array of health law topics. The Committee is indebted to the ABA Health Law Section, whose staff and volunteer leaders provided the resources necessary to bring this dream to fruition."--ECIP introduction.
