This guide was created for Amira Hasenbush's undergraduate seminar, Public Health Law: Constitutionally Balancing Societal Interests with Individual Rights (Winter 2013).
Using Amira's draft syllabus as a guide, I selected resources that relate to federal legislative history, statutory interpretation/construction, constitutional law and public health law. The focus is on books, articles and research guides.
I created a separate Lexis page because Zoe Caldwell will give the students an introductory research overview. Students will be able to find cases, statutes and law review articles using Lexis.
The "Selecting a Paper Topic" page was adapted from another guide created for law students.
All titles below are in the Stacks unless otherwise indicated. Reserve items are behind the Circulation desk and may be checked out for 2 hour periods. Books in the reference room may not be checked out.
