LAW 6319 - Public Health Law and Ethics

Credits: 3

Explores the legal structure, legitimacy, design, and implementation of policies that aim to promote public health and reduce the social burden of disease and injury. Highlights the challenge posed by public health’s population-based perspective to traditional individual-centered, autonomy-driven perspectives in constitutional law and contemporary U.S. public policy. Illustrative topics (which may vary from year to year) include responses to public health emergencies such as pandemics, mandatory immunization for children, and tensions between public health reporting requirements and the privacy of health information.
