Public health law examines the authority of the government at various jurisdictional levels to improve public health, the health of the general population within societal limits and norms.[1] Public health law focuses on the duties of the government to achieve these goals, limits on that power, and the population perspective.[1]

Public health law also focuses on legal issues in public health practice and on the public health effects of legal practice.
