The two questions, "What is public health law?" and "How can law improve the public's health?" are perennial ones for public health law scholars. This paper proposes a framework for conceptualizing discussion and debate about the scope and opportunities for public health law within liberal democracies. Part 2 of the paper draws selectively on this framework in order to highlight some areas where law's potential role deserves greater acknowledgment and exploration.
“什么是公共卫生法？”以及“法律如何促进公众健康？”这两个问题，一直是公共卫生法学者关注的焦点。本文提出了一个框架，用于在自由民主国家中对公共卫生法的范围和机遇进行概念化的讨论与辩论。本文第二部分有选择地运用这一框架，以突出一些领域，在这些领域中法律的潜在作用值得得到更多的认可和探索。
