About

Overview

Dr Sabrina Germain is a Reader in Healthcare Law and Policy and the Associate Dean for Equality Diversity and Inclusion at the City Law School. She is a member of City University’s Centre for Healthcare Innovation Research (CHIR) and the Centre for Law & Social Change. She is also the Society of Legal Scholars (SLS) Conference co-convenor of the Health Law Section and a Trustee on the Socio-Legal Studies Association's (SLSA) board.

Dr Germain’s research interests are in the field of healthcare law and policy. She focuses on questions of distributive justice (resource allocation and access to healthcare services) and the role of medical professionals in the healthcare law making process.

Her first monograph Justice and Profit in Health Care Law (Hart, 2019) is a comparative study that puts forward the influence of justice principles and for-profit actors (the medical profession, employers and insurers) on the development of laws to allocate healthcare resources in western welfare states. Her second co-authored monograph Medical Doctors in Health Reforms (Policy Press, 2022) offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the role of doctors in the design healthcare reforms in England and Canada.

Currently Dr Germain focuses on research projects and publications (Feminist Legal Studies, 2020; Journal for Cultural Research, 2022) on inequalities in accessing healthcare services for ethnic minorities and migrant women, and the access and implementation of reproductive rights in Nepal.

In recent years she has been called to comment on emergency measures put in place to preserve the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic and on several occasions she has contributed to specialised articles in Al Jazeera (English), The Times (London), The Conversation (UK) and live TV interviews.

At City, she convenes the modules in Medical Law and the module on Law Rights and Context for which she is the co-host of the City Law School Law & Society Podcast. In 2019, Oxford University Press awarded her the Law Teacher of the Year Prize.

Prior to City, Dr Germain was a lecturer in Law and Public Policy at the University of Surrey and held visiting scholarships at the University of Cambridge, University of Cape Town and Brooklyn Law School. Dr Germain is admitted to the practice of law in the State of New York and has worked as a transactional lawyer in an international law firm.
