Protecting Public Health Authority the Courts

Public Health Law Watch is an initiative of the George Consortium in collaboration with the Center for Health Law and Policy at Northeastern University. We monitor and analyze litigation activity that affects public health authority. PHLW provides essential resources to academics, scholars, experts, the public, the media, and policymakers who work to foster and maintain the fair, effective, and evidence-based exercise of public health authority.


PHLW is a Member of the Act for Public Health Partnership. As part of the Act for Public Health initiative, PHLW tracks litigation related to public health authority. Sign up to receive our weekly litigation updates and news about other Act for Public Health efforts.
