PUBLIC HEALTH LAW: THE LEGAL RESPONSE
Courses and JD/MPH Programs
This is a syllabus developed Terry O'Brien, an Assistant Attorney General of Minnesota. He is a leading expert in public health law and enforcement. Mr. O'Brien taught the course at the University of Minnesota School of Law in Spring 1996. (Note from EPR - I worked with Mr. O'Brien in the development of this course and used his syllabus in the development of my course.)
This course is divided into 6 segments. Segment I is introductory. We will discuss the role of law in public health, review the history and current status of the public health infrastructure as it relates to protecting us from and responding to infectious disease, identify the nature and causes of emerging infectious diseases and distinguish general health and medical law from public health law.
In Segment II, we will investigate the source and nature of state police power, its history and current status, and note the shifting judicial standards of review and evidence. We will discuss the effect of the police power on the First Amendment rights of religion, expression and association. We will analyze the relationship between the police power to protect the public health and Fourth Amendment issues attached to mandatory disclosure of personal information to the government as well as non consensual disclosure of personal health information by governmental officials.
Segment III will address the constitutional and statutory limits of police power. We will review successful challenges to the exercise of police power based upon substantive and procedural due process and equal protection. Moreover, we will consider the ramifications of statutory schemes to protect the rights of persons with communicable diseases under the American with Disabilities Act and the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
In Segment IV we will discuss public health incentives and disincentives in the context of penal and civil sanctions.
Segment V will provide case studies applying the Minnesota Noncompliant Carrier Law to carriers of tuberculosis and HIV. Moreover, inasmuch as health care workers with HIV or HBV present a unique context in which to apply knowledge relating to mandatory reporting, testing, lawful and unlawful occupational discrimination, tort duties to inform, to treat and to warn and privacy issues, we will review the public health law issues presented in these cases.
In the final Segment, we will speculate about the lawful response to future epidemics.
