Sandman Papers: Edgar ’46 & Margaret Sandman Fellowship

Description

The Edgar ’46 & Margaret Sandman Fellowship in Aging, Disability, and Health Law and Policy is the most prestigious fellowship awarded to an Albany Law School student. The Fellowship offers a significant financial benefit to one or two Albany Law School students to research cutting-edge issues in aging, disability, or health law and policy.

Established in 1992 by Morris Silverman ’36 to honor Edgar Sandman ’46, the Sandman Fellows have produced 30 years of in-depth legal research and analysis that is published and disseminated to lawmakers and policymakers nationwide.

Sandman studies have:

  • Received national media attention;
  • Been used by state-level task forces and agencies across the country;
  • Been cited by court opinions and by legal literature;
  • Launched successful careers of the Fellows; and
  • Sparked changes in aging law and policy.
The Fellowship Program focuses on the area of Aging, Disability, and Health Law and Policy. The Fellows prepare written reports of publishable quality on an aging, disability or health law topic, and host roundtable discussions related to their research.
