Lauren Roth’s teaching and research interests include business law, health law, fiduciary law, and employee benefits. Her scholarship focuses on the role of the government and employers in American health and social welfare and how to promote equal access to and efficiency in healthcare. Professor Roth’s research reflects an interdisciplinary approach (incorporating quantitative methods, American political development, history, and public health) and utilizes a range of methodological tools.

Prior to joining the Touro Law Center, Professor Roth was an Assistant Professor of Legal Writing at St. John’s University School of Law and Associate Director of the Lawyering Program at New York University School of Law.

Professor Roth graduated from Harvard Law School in 2004 and practiced employee benefits law and general litigation at Proskauer Rose and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.  During law school, Roth was an editor for the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender.
