About Kathleen
Kathleen Boozang has spent more than three decades in legal education and health law. She holds an LL.M. from Yale Law School (1990), a J.D. from Washington University in St. Louis (1984) and a B.S. from Boston College (1984). Those degrees set the stage for a career that moves between practice, scholarship and university administration.
She began her professional life in private practice. In 1984 she worked as a lawyer at Greensfelder, Hemker & Gale, P.C. That early experience in a firm environment preceded a long tenure in academia. In 1990 she joined Seton Hall University School of Law as a professor of law and has taught there since. Her time at Seton Hall also included an administrative role; she served as vice provost for the university beginning in 2010.
Boozang’s scholarship and teaching have intersected with health law and bioethics. In 2023 she held visiting appointments tied to those areas: a visiting scholar position at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School and a visiting professorship at the UCSF College of Law. Those appointments reflect ongoing engagement with policy, regulation and ethical questions around health care.
Professional associations have been a steady part of her career. She has been a member of the American Law Institute since 2009 and a fellow of several organizations, including the American Health Lawyers Association (since 2011), The Hastings Center (since 2008) and the American Bar Foundation (since 2008). She also participates in the American Association of Law Schools, serving on the Deans Forum Planning Committee since 2022.
Colleagues describe her work as rooted in both doctrinal study and practical issues arising in health care law. She has combined classroom teaching with public-facing scholarship and institutional leadership. Over time her interests have woven together legal doctrine, regulatory practice and the ethical dimensions of health policy.
Today she remains a central figure at Seton Hall University School of Law, where she teaches, writes and mentors students. Her current work concentrates on health law, bioethics and related policy issues.
