New Orleans, Louisiana -- January 16-18, 2013

The PHLR scientific community will gather at this year's annual meeting in New Orleans, LA, January 16-18, 2013.  The theme of this year's meeting is Driving Legal Innovation. Top public health law researchers and experts will share the latest additions to the growing evidence base and innovations in the field, and will lead discussions to further spark innovative thinking about ways to use law to improve public health.

Don't miss these highlights:

• Critical Opportunities returns with a revamped look and feel. This is a fun, interactive session that will explore ways law can promote health including: health problems for which legal approaches are absent, underdeveloped, or have misfired; evidence supporting legal approaches to these problems; and priority topics for future public health law research.
• PHLR grantees and other researchers will present their latest research results -- putting attendees at the cutting edge of the newest evidence in the field.
• Instructional workshops for using LawAtlas, a web-based platform that will provide access to quantitative legal datasets that can be used to drive public health legal innovation, where users can query, map, report and download legal data.
