LAW 370 - Food and Drug Law

Fall (2-3) Stacy Kern-Scheerer

This course will examine the ways in which Congress, the Food and Drug Administration, and the courts have gone about regulating the food and drug industries. We will highlight current issues which may include the FDA’s jurisdiction and enforcement authority concerning dietary supplements; the regulation of food additives; food labeling; the implications of globalism in the pharmaceutical industry; “orphan drugs;” and the relationship between federal regulation and state law. The course will be graded on the basis of in-class participation and a final examination.
