- Summary:
- In this groundbreaking work legal scholar Wendy E. Parmet explores a wide range of critical issues, including food safety, death and dying, and pandemic preparedness. She demonstrates how a population-based legal analysis, one that recalls the importance of populations and uses the tools of public health, can enhance legal decision making while protecting both public health and the rights and liberties of individuals and their communities.
