Nicole
Huberfeld,
Willburt D. Ham
Associate Professor
of Law, has an article
titled “Bizarre Love
Triangle: The Spending Clause,
Section 1983, and Medicaid”
forthcoming in the U.C. Davis Law

participated in a panel entitled
“Federalism and Healthcare” at the
Health Law Professors Conference in
May and a talk at the South Eastern
Association of Law Schools Annual
Conference entitled “The Roberts
Court and Healthcare, Something
for Everyone.” Currently, Professor
Huberfeld is working on research
projects that follow her articles in the
North Carolina Law Review and U.C.
Davis Law Review. One will examine
the impact a recent Supreme Court
decision is likely to have on interpreting
the False Claims Act in
federal healthcare programs. The
other explores tensions between the
doctrine of federalism and the
practical aspects of cooperative
federalism programs.
