Lauren R. Roth

Lauren R. Roth is an Associate Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Health Law and Policy Certificate at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, Pace University, where she joined the faculty in 2025. Her academic work bridges law, policy, and political science, with a focus on health law, fiduciary duties, and employee benefits.

She holds a JD from Harvard Law School, a PhD in political science from Columbia University, and a BA from George Washington University.

Her research centers on the intersection of public and private healthcare systems, government and employer roles in health and social welfare, and equitable access to care. She employs interdisciplinary and quantitative methods to examine structural issues in health law and policy. Key areas include Medicare regulation, fiduciary obligations in healthcare, and the legal redefinition of medical care.

Her recent publications, appearing in journals such as Indiana Law Journal, Lewis & Clark Law Review, and Rutgers Law Review, reflect a consistent focus on regulatory reform, ethical accountability, and systemic bias in healthcare. Trends show a growing emphasis on data integrity, bureaucratic oversight, and the privatization of public health functions.
