Rand E. Rosenblatt, a former associate dean for academic affairs, is a
frequent speaker and author of books and other publications about health
law, and also specializes in constitutional law, history, and
democratic theory.
Professor Rosenblatt teaches Health Law; Constitutional
Law; and Wealth, Democracy, and the Rule of Law. He was the lead
coauthor of the widely-used health law casebook Law and the American
Health Care System (Foundation Press, 1997) and its Supplements, and is a
coauthor of its 2012 revised edition.
Professor Rosenblatt participated in major debates on the
constitutionality of national health reform, and on the constitutional
theory of originalism. He is coauthor of an amicus brief to the United
States Supreme Court in Aetna v. Davila (2004), concerning patients'
rights in managed care. He testified several times in Congress about
patients' rights and managed care, and his coauthored analyses of
pending legislation were quoted on the House floor by congresspeople from
both parties and by President Bill Clinton.
He has frequently spoken on and taught about health law, including
to federal judges through the Federal Judicial Center and at the Health
Law Professors Conferences sponsored by the American Society of Law,
Medicine and Ethics. He received a B.A. summa cum laude from Harvard
College, an M.S. with distinction from the London School of Economics,
and a J.D. from the Yale Law School, where he was article and book review editor of the Yale Law Journal.
After law school, Professor Rosenblatt clerked for Judge Jack B. Weinstein of the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and
served as a staff attorney for the Health Law Project of the University
of Pennsylvania. He served as associate dean for academic affairs at Rutgers School of Law-Camden from 1997-2000.
