Pseudoprofessional Advice: Misinformation, Professional Regulation, and the First Amendment

Please join the UW Law Interdisciplinary Health Law & Policy Program and the UW Center for an Informed Public for a presentation by Claudia Haupt of Northeastern School of Law, Pseudoprofessional Advice: Misinformation, Professional Regulation, and the First Amendment. Why are licensed professionals constrained in the advice they provide within professional relationships, yet free to offer potentially harmful advice to millions of people through social media, television, books, and advice columns? This gap stems from the structure of First Amendment doctrine: within the professional relationship, the First Amendment protects good advice, while outside that relationship, good and bad advice are generally treated equally. Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: William H. Gates Hall (LAW). Campus room: Room 138. Accessibility Contact: lawconf@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars. Workshops. Conferences. Event sponsors: UW Law Interdisciplinary Health Law & Policy Program UW Center for an Informed Public. Tuesday, November 17, 2026, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. For more info visit forms.cloud.microsoft.
