ADU Law
Alan D. Ullberg is a healthcare attorney with a decades long interest in the issues of legal appeal, litigation and dispute resolution. Mr. Ullberg graduated from Harvard Law School after obtaining his bachelors degree from Reed College.
Mr. Ullberg was a permanent law clerk for the California Supreme Court for over 5 years, "so I often think like an appellate judge." As Smithsonian deputy general counsel, Mr. Ullberg was the lead attorney managing the Institution's litigation for 25 years. Mr. Ullberg won nearly every legal case in dispute during his tenure as their lawyer.
​
For 14 years Mr. Ullberg was adjunct professor of Fiduciary Law at Georgetown Law. "In my legal course I taught about the law as it specifically pertained to the rights of physicians."
Mr. Ullberg began working with the National Medical Association 10 years ago. Both were concerned with the judiciary's typical hands-off approach to legal claims by physicians in cases and actions against authorities in the U.S. healthcare system. Courts' historical, we-don't-interfere approach granted de facto absolute power to decision making authorities such as hospitals, medical specialty certifying boards, and the dominant, umbrella medical specialty certifying boards.
​
Mr. Ullberg believes that this judicial attitude has been especially damaging in legal cases and actions of adverse but hard-to-prove treatment of African American physicians. "Unfortunately, judicial courts have tended to adhere to non-intervention policy, refusing to interfere in hospital system politics."
