David Orentlicher (Law) recently co-authored the fourth edition of  Health Care Law and Ethics for West Academic’s popular Nutshell Series. Nutshells have long provided readers with a basic and accessible understanding of topics across the field of law. The health care nutshell considers how the law responds to the critical public policy issues raised by innovations in medicine. Topics include health insurance reform, health care finance and delivery structures, treatment relationships, reproductive and genetic decisions, organ transplantation, and health care at the end of life.
