LW397

This seminar will focus primarily on the authority of government to regulate for the public health and constitutional restrictions thereon. The class surveys major public health issues like vaccines, fluoride, tobacco, drug use, cannabis, vaping, obesity, and firearms. It examines the horizontal separation of powers that impacts regulation in these realms, including delegations to the Food and Drug Administration, as well as the vertical division of power among the federal, state, and local governments.
