Preface

Prof. Ted Ruger takes issue with those who worry about whether health law is coherent, arguing that it is an important and engaging field even if it lacks a set of organizing principles. Theodore W. Ruger, Health law's coherence anxiety, 96 Geo. L.J. 625-648 (2008). Further developing a patient-centered, "essentialist" view of health care law, see Mark A. Hall, The legal and historical foundations of patients as medical consumers, 96 Geo. L.J. 583-597 (2008).  For additional perspective, see Wendy Mariner, Toward an Architecture of Health Law, 35 Am. J. L. & Med. 67 (2009); M. Gregg Bloche, The emergent logic of health law, 82 S. Cal. L. Rev. 389-480 (2009); Andrew Fichter, The law of doctoring: a study of the codification of medical professionalism, 19 Health Matrix 317-385 (2009);  Sandra Johnson, Regulating Physician Behavir: Taking Doctors' "Bad Law" Clais seriously, 53 St. Louis U.L.J. 973 (2009); Symposium, 19 Ann.  Health L. 1 (2010).
