Public Health Law in Practice

Jennifer L. Pomeranz, Thomas G. Merrill, Kevin R.J. Schroth

Public Health Law in Practice offers an accessible deep dive into public health law for public health students and practitioners with or without a legal background. It provides a detailed overview of the American legal system with clear explanation of the government's abilities and limitations to promote public health through policies and programs. Chapters further describe the influence of law by subject, with excerpts from real legal cases across topical areas like tobacco, firearms, reproductive health, and nutrition policies. The volume concludes with practical strategies for legislation drafting and coalition building with government and community groups.Enriched with insights into the inner workings of public health departments, Public Health Law in Practice is the crucial public health law textbook that prepares public health students for work in the field of public health outside the classroom.
