Litigation on Guns and Alcohol: The Impact on Public Health Policy Sponsored by the Center for Health, Science and Public Policy Thursday, November 10, 2005 On November 10, Brooklyn Law School hosted a theory-practice seminar exploring the impact of gun and alcohol litigation on public health policy. Increasingly, private litigation seeks to influence or even substitute for, regulation on public health issues such as alcohol and firearms. Is this a positive development, or does it create distortions in public policy? Using examples of guns and alcohol, Professor Stephen Teret ’66, Director of the Center for Law and the Public’s Health at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, analyzed the pitfalls and potentials at the intersection of litigation and public health. Brooklyn Law School Professor Anthony Sebok moderated the seminar. The commentators were Professor Timothy D. Lytton, Albany Law School, and Paul D. Rheingold of Rheingold, Valet, Rheingold, Shkolnik & McCartney LLP. "Litigation on Guns and Alcohol" is part of the Center for Health, Science and Public Policy’s ongoing series of theory-practice seminars, in which scholars and practitioners have the opportunity to exchange ideas on important questions of health policy.
