Food and Drug Policy Forum, Volume 5, Issue 3 | April 3, 2015

Numerous major law conferences across the country in recent years have addressed food litigation, though until now no law school has hosted a conference on this topic. From the outset, the aim for our conference was to take a step back from the tactical aspects of the cases and to consider broader questions about the implications of food litigation through an academic lens.
