The revolution in medicine continues to raise new and increasingly complex legal and moral concerns. Profound dilemmas over patients' rights, infanticide, medical experimentation, genetic engineering, and other issues are challenging practitioners of law and medicine on a daily basis. The frequency and character of these issues compel scholarly examination by professionals in both disciplines.

Only a handful of publications exist encompassing the field of law and health. Few attain the level of scholarship this expanding specialization requires. The Journal of Law and Health focuses its scholarly approach to current debates in the legal and medical field and adds a valuable voice to the examination and resolution of critical issues.
