Beazley announces exciting new leadership and faculty changes

The Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy is pleased to announce some notable developments for 2020. The Institute now has a tripartite leadership model. Kristin Finn is executive director, and professors Jordan Paradise and Nadia Sawicki are the new co-directors; they are thrilled to be working together in shaping the future of the Beazley Institute.

Charlotte Tschider In July, the Beazley Institute welcomed two new faculty members: Charlotte Tschider has joined Loyola as an assistant professor of law. Professor Tschider was most recently a visiting assistant professor at the University of Nebraska College of Law for the 2019-20 school year and the Jaharis Faculty Fellow in Health Law and Intellectual Property at the DePaul University College of Law from 2018-19. Her primary scholarship is in information privacy, cybersecurity law, and artificial intelligence, with a focus on the global health care industry.

Jenna Prochaska Jenna Prochaska has joined the Health Justice Project as a clinical teaching fellow. Prochaska brings a broad range of public interest legal experience, with a focus on poverty law and health care access. She has represented low-income Chicagoans in eviction, bankruptcy, consumer fraud, debt collection, and other housing and consumer matters at Legal Aid Chicago.

Fond Farewells

In June, Professor Lawrence (Larry) Singer retired from Loyola and was granted emeritus status at the law school. Singer’s vision for the Beazley Institute and dedication to the health law program have profoundly shaped who we are, and we thank him for his decades of commitment to health law education and service.

Former Health Justice Project Clinical Teaching Fellow Ron Hochbaum has joined the faculty of the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke Law School. We wish him well and thank him for three terrific years with us.
