Membership Benefits

Membership in Health Lawyers is individual rather than organizational. Your membership is personal and fully portable should you change employment. Health Lawyers offers the following membership categories: Attorney, Health Professional, Government, Academician, Paralegal, and Student. (Printable Summary of Membership Benefits)

Benefits of Membership

  • Sixteen Practice Groups to serve the needs of Health Lawyers' diverse membership. To learn more about Practice Groups—what they do and how you can benefit from enrollment—download this resource that reviews the projects and activities undertaken by the Association's groups.
  • Health and Life Sciences Law Daily — a daily digest of the most important health and legal news culled from thousands of sources and delivered, as a benefit, to members' email inboxes.
  • Online Health Law Digest, an extensive monthly synopsis of the most current state and federal court decisions in the field of health law with alphabetical and jurisdictional indices.
  • Health Lawyers News, a monthly magazine devoted to health-related legislative and regulatory activity at both state and federal levels. Highlights legal and executive job opportunities in health law; announces speaking and writing opportunities for educational programs and publications; and reports on the professional activities of members. (Student members do not receive this benefit.)
  • Health Lawyers Weekly, a comprehensive online news and analysis service providing in-depth reporting on the latest developments affecting health law. Each Friday, all AHLA members are emailed the latest issue, which includes top news stories, important case law, and federal and state legislative and regulatory developments, as well as regular articles and analyses on issues relevant to your health law practice.
  • Discounts on Publications: Members are entitled to significant discounts on Health Lawyers publications.
  • Membership Directory, a comprehensive index of the Association's membership that lets members network with their colleagues from across the country. Downloaded in a compact, encrypted format, this Membership Directory resides directly on your computer desktop. The Directory is easily accessible, giving members instant access whether in the office or on the road visiting clients. Members can choose to receive updated information and revisions on a regular basis—meaning the Directory is never 'out of print.' As an added bonus, members are able to write and save notes within individual records, bookmark selected records, and email another member directly from the Directory. If you've never accessed the Membership Directory before, you'll want to download this Guide. It will provide you with helpful hints on how to download and navigate through this Directory.
  • Career Center, published monthly in the magazine and continuously on the Web site, listing available legal and executive job openings. Members receive a special discount when placing a Position Wanted advertisement.
  • Find a Member quickly—search by last name, firm, city or state to find a member. Locate peers having similar practice areas of interest or who are enrolled in a specific Practice Group.
  • Health Lawyers is an approved sponsor of continuing legal education and continuing professional education credits in most states that require them. We also apply for various other types of professional education credit when appropriate.
  • The Alternative Dispute Resolution Service provides experienced mediators, arbitrators, and hearing officers to resolve disputes in the healthcare industry.

Membership Dues

Dues for attorney members are based on the date of admission to the Bar. Other dues categories are available for government attorneys, academicians (full-time faculty), paralegals, health professionals, and full-time law students. Get a complete listing of dues and membership types.

You are billed annually for dues to coincide with the month that you joined Health Lawyers. The price of an annual subscription to the online Health Law Digest ($55) and the Health Lawyers News ($35) for Health Lawyers members is included inseparably in your dues.
