Now revised and expanded to cover today’s most pressing health threats, Public Health Law and Ethics probes the legal and ethical issues at the heart of public health through an incisive selection of government reports, scholarly articles, and relevant court cases. Companion to the internationally acclaimed text Public Health Law: Power, Duty, Restraint, this reader can also be used as a stand-alone resource for students, practitioners, scholars,and teachers. It encompasses global issues that have changed the shape of public health in recent years including anthrax, SARS, pandemic flu, biosecurity, emergency preparedness, and the transition from infectious to chronic diseases caused by lifestyle changes in eating and physical activity. In addition to covering these new arenas, it includes discussion of classic legal and ethical tensions inherent to public health practice, such as how best to balance the police power of the state with individual autonomy.

Free Public Health Law and Ethics: A Reader
This is a good reader summarizing relevant Public Health Law issues. However, it's not the most current and given the drastic technological advances and public health law issues raised within the past few years, it's more than overdue for a refresh. Also, it sometimes mentions cases that are foundational but doesn't do case examples for these cases, rather applying the specific test or ruling of the foundational case to others. This just seems odd as you need to understand how and why the test originated in the first place. My only otehr criticism would be that it's WAAAAAY WAAAAY WAAAAY to repetitive of the text book.

not amazing but as good as/better than I expected from my uni bookstore. some underlining but this class is very boring so it probably helps
