Texas A&M University School of Law
Texas A&M University School of Law is emerging as a national and international leader in the realm of health law and policy. The new Health Law, Policy & Management concentration of its master’s degree program for non-lawyers is growing in leaps and bounds. Its nationally ranked program in intellectual property – the Center for Law & Intellectual Property (CLIP) – is likewise actively engaged in issues related to access to medications, pharmaceutical innovation, and the role of big data and artificial intelligence in health. The Law School is also collaborating closely with other institutions on new initiatives and programs, including the Texas A&M School of Public Health, Tarrant County College’s nursing program, and the new medical school established by TCU and UNT Health Science Centers – for which the Law School is helping to develop curriculum on health law and policy.
Most recently, Professor Srividhya Ragavan, a leading scholar working at the intersection of access to medications, intellectual property, and international trade, has collaborated with the Association for Affordable Medicines to establish a new blog – TradeRxReport.com – which aims to collect timely and impactful information and insights on trade and pharmaceuticals.
With its strength in international law and distinctly international faculty, Texas A&M University School of Law is a truly global law school. In particular, given close faculty connections to India, the Law School is focused on developing new collaborations and initiatives with the Indian legal and business communities. Earlier this year, Dean Robert B. Ahdieh and Professor Ragavan spent nearly two weeks visiting universities (including not only law schools, but business and science programs as well), lawyers, judges, and various companies across India, to identify opportunities for collaboration. Out of those conversations there have already emerged various new degree programs, other non-degree academic partnerships, judicial collaborations, and industry-related initiatives. Given the Law School’s strengths in international law, health law and policy, intellectual property, and trade law – as well as the large and strong expatriate Indian community in Texas, including a growing number of headquarters of India companies – such Texas A&M School of Law partnerships with India are expected to grow rapidly in the years ahead.
