INTRODUCTION This article springs from a unique aspect of my work as the Director of the Program on Law and State Government (PLSG), namely, serving as the fac- ulty advisor for the PLSG Fellowship.2 The PLSG Fellows for 2007, Mr. Sam- uel Derheimer3 and Ms. Sally Hubbard4 chose wellness as the topic for their Fellowship year. Together, their questions, ideas, and work resulted in the sev- * Clinical Associate Professor of Law and Director, Program on Law and State Gov- ernment, Indiana University School of Law- Indianapolis; B.A., with distinction, 1998, Valpa- raiso University; J.D., magna cum laude, 1991, Valparaiso University School of Law. The Program on Law and State Government thanks the Indiana Health Law Review for its support of the 2007 Fellowship Symposium and for continuing the dialog between state governments and the academic community with this issue. 2. Awarded on a competitive basis, the PLSG Fellowships allow two students the oppor- tunity to work together for one year exploring a topic of their choice concerning a critical legal issue facing state governments. Working with the guidance of the Director, Fellowship respon- sibilities have included hosting an academic event, collaborating to write an academic paper on the chosen Fellowship topic, or contributing to policy development and analysis at the state government level. Information on the PLSG Fellowship program is available at, Program on Law and State Government: Fellowships, http://indylaw.indiana.edu/programs/law-stategov/ fellowships.htm (last visited Apr. 8, 2008). 3.
