CPIL’s Julianne Fellmeth ’83 (JD) Quoted in MedPage Today Article

SAN DIEGO (September 14, 2018) – The University of San Diego (USD) School of Law Center for Public Interest Law (CPIL) staff counsel Julianne Fellmeth, ’83 (JD), was quoted in an article  in Medpage Today, titled “Provider Groups Hit Back at California’s Death Certificate Project.”

With opiod deaths increasing at a startling rate in our country, the Medical Board of California (MBC), the State agency that licenses, investigates and disciplines those who violate the law, has started a “Death Certificate Project” to curb this epidemic. In the article, Fellmeth is defending MBC’s project but she is concerned that they do not have enough manpower to get things moving efficiently.
