Public Health

Professor Richard Daynard heads the law school's Public Health Advocacy Clinic and works closely with the Public Health Legal Clinic.

In cooperation with the school’s Public Health Advocacy Institute, the Public Health Legal Clinic covers tobacco control issues in depth, while also focusing on the emerging obesity epidemic and issues involving the gun and pharmaceutical industries. It considers the conflict between individual rights and the need to protect the public health.

While working on PHAI projects students gain real experience in public interest law, public health law and the use of litigation to effect changes in public health policy. Student projects support the research and drafting needs of practicing PHAI attorneys. Clinic instructors supervise students, serving as writing coaches and mentors for the quarter-long project.
