This textbook surveys the major legal issues emanating from the policy responses to Covid-19 in the United States, with an emphasis on federalism, administrative law, and state and local government.

The Covid-19 pandemic led to unprecedented policy responses from the various levels and organs of government in the United States, as well as from private parties. Business, school, and church closures, mask mandates, employer and university vaccine mandates, vaccine passports to visit movie theaters and restaurants — this panoply of responses changed the world many of us lived in and led to widespread and hotly contested litigation in America’s federal and state courts. In the first and only text of its kind, with carefully chosen case excerpts and summary information, The Law of Covid-19 highlights the key legal issues contested throughout the pandemic. Whether as a retrospective on what Covid wrought, a primer for future pandemics, or a supplement to a more general public health course, this text will help prepare you and your students for a world that will never be the same.
