Precedent & Innovation: Health Law in the 21st Century
Take a look through today's news - public health policy, reproductive technology, privacy, insurance, patenting, disability, and controversy surrounding drug availability. Health law is indeed a distinct and vibrant area. In September 2003, as part of its 25 year anniversary celebration, the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta brought together health law scholars, policy makers and practitioners from across Canada for the first ever national health law conference. This special edition of the Health Law Journal includes many of the papers from that conference together with some additional articles from those working in the ever expanding area of health law. The topics dealt with in this edition serve to inform and provoke - reminding us that as issues develop so should law. Included in the price of this book is an excellent CD entitled "Disability Studies: The Unexpected Guest in Health Law Discourse" by Catherine Frazee, Co-Director of the Institute for Disability Studies at Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, which was presented at the conference. This CD is an excellent teaching resource.
