Weekend reading: legal advocacy action guide

The Global Health Advocacy Incubator has issued an action guide to legal advocacy.

As GHAI puts it,

GHAI has launched a new Legal Advocacy Action Guide to show how legal professionals can advance public health objectives by identifying the most feasible legal strategies, drafting robust laws and regulation and using strategic litigation to promote and protect public health policy. Download it here, or read our sponsored Devex article summarizing how legal strategies can help advocates draft stronger laws and hold health-harming industries accountable. The new legal guide complements our Advocacy Action Guide.

This is a how-to manual for lawyers and advocates about how to use the legal system of a country to promote public health.  It’s divided into the 4 sections shown on the cover: Analyze, Draft, Assess, Litigate.

Each of these discussions comes with international case studies.

Here is an excerpt from the litigate section.

This guide is really useful.  Use it!
