Some years back, I was on a panel discussing the topic of teaching elder law in a law school curriculum. On that panel with me was my friend Howard Eglit, Professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law. Howard and I were talking about our presentation, and he offered me the following thoughts. Howard took the position that having elder law as a separate course made it ageism. If elder law issues were truly important, they would be integrated into a curriculum. Having a separate course would fall into that “ism” trap and actually work in a discriminatory fashion against the elderly.
