Bill Brisk

I graduated from Brown (AB), NYU (JD), and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington (PhD). I chaired the department of political science at the Inter-American University (San German, Puerto Rico) and moved to the University of New Mexico where I taught Latin American politics, international relations and a variety of honors courses. At Suffolk and other law schools I created and taught courses on the emerging subject of elder law.  I’ve written a book about mini-states and published over twenty-five articles and book reviews on Latin American and international politics and, as an elder law attorney, was the lead author of the text on Massachusetts Elder Law which I updated about six times and is now updated by others.  I served as president of the Massachusetts Elder Law Association, as a board member of national NAELA, and as Editor in Chief of the National Academy of Elder Law Journal.
