As you read in the foowing pages, we have much to ceebrate, but et me start with just a few highights: End-of-ife care experts gathered at our November Symposium: Lega, Medica, and Ethica Issues in Minnesota End-of-Life Care. Over 200 regiona and nationa experts expored issues and topics such as: the use of POLST orders; Minnesota guardianship procedure; institutiona and community responses to medica futiity disputes; and decision making for unbefriended patients without surrogates.

8 Experientia Learning HLI students receive hands-on, skis-based training through a variety of experientia earning opportunities in the heath care industry. Experientia earning is the current that runs through the entire Hamine Law curricuum. We decidedy integrate skis training, work experience and career services throughout every facet of the aw schoo. HLI strongy embraces this uniquey Hamine Law approach to ega education. HLI students are kept apprised of the wide range of experientia earning opportunities through a weeky e-newsetter, the HLI Brief. Through this reguar communication, students are better informed of ways in which they can engage with the oca bar and community heath aw events. The HLI Brief aso aerts students to position openings, writing competitions, CLE presentations, and other opportunities. Over the past year, HLI students served cients, worked cosey with attorney mentors and aumni, and participated in the rich Minnesota heath aw community. We prepare our students to make an immediate, meaningfu contribution upon graduation. HEALTH LAW CLINIC Combining course work and case work, the Heath Law Cinic aows students to represent cients in heath-reated administrative hearings or written appeas, perform egisative research, and provide case anayses and cient advice. Through the cinic, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety meaningfu experiences. 8

9 Administrative Hearings and Reated Work During the Fa 2012 semester, two students successfuy represented a cient in an unempoyment benefits hearing. The cient was a food service worker who had been terminated from her empoyment due to aeged misconduct. The students researched the issue and interviewed the cient after the cient had initiay been denied benefits. The students prepared the cient for the hearing and represented the cient in the teephone hearing, which invoved examination of the cient and cross examination of the empoyer s witness. The cient won the hearing and began receiving unempoyment benefits. Two students represented a cient in a Minnesota Department of Heath (MDH) matreatment and disquaification proceeding. The cient worked as a home heath aide in an assisted iving faciity. A MDH investigation determined that she was responsibe for negect/matreatment reated to a patient s fa and aeged that she shoud be disquaified from empoyment in the faciity. The students did extensive research, interviewed the cient and a cinica nurse expert, and prepared a settement anaysis for MDH that was rejected before hearing. At the hearing, one of the students conducted direct examination of his cient and the cinica expert. The Department of Human Services Judge issued a recommended decision in favor of MDH on the matreatment determination and in favor of the cient on the disquaification set-aside determination. Since the decision was issued after the semester ended, facuty prepared exceptions contesting the matreatment decision and are awaiting the Commissioner of Heath s decision in the matter. A Spring 2013 student wrote and fied a request for a setaside with the Minnesota Department of Human Services for a cient who had been permanenty disquaified from direct care empoyment due to a very od arrest record. The Department denied the written request, and the student advised the cient about a further appea. Judicia Hearings In Spring 2013, two students prepared expungement petitions for individuas who had been disquaified from heath-reated empoyment based on crimina background studies. To prepare the petitions, they conducted interviews of their cients and witnesses; and, they researched the appicabe aw and Court fie systems. Hearings for the two petitions were schedued after graduation, so another Cinic student was abe to present and argue the petitions before the oca district courts in June. The expungement requests were granted to the extent permitted by recent Minnesota Supreme Court decisions imiting a judge s expungement authority to judicia records. Case Anaysis and Cient Advice Both during Fa 2012 and Spring 2013, students worked with cients to discuss disquaification and expungementreated issues. Students interviewed the cients to evauate their cases, conducted research on the cient s specific situation, and wrote advice etters to the cients regarding their individua cases. 9
