Threats of Litigation Against Proposed Public Health Laws

Research to improve the understanding of legal threats that challenge public health law interventions

It is sometimes effective to threaten to bring a lawsuit against a regulatory agency if it decides to proceed with passage of a proposed public health law. To better evaluate such threats, we conducted a series of descriptive case studies on proposed public health measures against which opponents threatened litigation. The case studies describe the nature of the threats and provide insight into how the public health officials responded to the threats.
