We examine a method of studying the Z polarization in H\ensuremath→ZZ\ensuremath→l+l^\ensuremath-\ensuremathν\ensuremathν in proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Included are the dominant contributions: gluon fusion production of the Higgs boson, continuum production of Z pairs, and the Z+missing jet QCD background. The polarization signal is distinguishable from the background for Higgs boson masses less than or equal to \ensuremath∼700 GeV, for an integrated luminosity of 105 pb^\ensuremath-1.
