The fourth edition of Public Health Law in a Nutshell offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of the vital role of law in American society in safeguarding the health of the community, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the field of public health law involves exploring its constitutional foundations and boundaries, as well as historical and contemporary efforts to regulate for the sake of public health and safety. This updated Nutshell elucidates and addresses these concerns within a contemporary framework that supports the role of law in achieving improved health outcomes in both routine and emergency situations.
In mid-2021, the Nutshell underwent a significant update to reflect key developments stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Comprising 12 chapters and over 150 graphics, illustrations, and figures, the book provides a definitive exploration of legal issues underlying core public health powers to prevent, control, and address communicable and chronic conditions, injuries, and related deaths. Additionally, it delves into legal strategies for countering other public health threats, such as tobacco and alcohol use, firearms, vehicles, and defective products.
Several chapters focus on challenging trade-offs related to public health information surveillance and privacy, commercial speech regulation, zoning and the built environment, and emergency legal preparedness. The all-new Chapter 12 specifically centers on the dynamic legal and policy issues raised during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been the most significant public health crisis in U.S. history.
This edition of the Nutshell is an essential resource for thousands of legal and public health practitioners, law- and policy-makers, and collegiate or graduate students in schools of law, public health, or medicine who are assessing these issues as part of their coursework or research interests.
