HODGE, JR.** Copyright © 2000 by Lawrence 0. Gostin and James G. Hodge, Jr. This Article is also available on the World Wide Web at http://www.law.duke.eduljournals/ 17ALRGostin. * J.D., L.L.D. (Hon.). Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Cen- ter; Professor of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health; Co-Director, Georgetown/Johns Hopkins Program on Law and Public Health. ** J.D., L.L.M. Adjunct Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Cen- ter; Associate, Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health; Greenwall Fellow in Bioethics and Health Policy (1997-1999) (jointly sponsored by Johns Hopkins University and Georgetown University). This Article is substantially based on a report prepared by the authors for the Alaska Division of Public Health as part of Alaska's Public Health Improvement Process, supported by a state grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and individual grants from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation awarded to various Alaska communities. See Lawrence 0. Gostin & James G. Hodge, Jr., Reforming Alaska Public Health Law, A Report for the Alaska Public Health Improvement Process (1999) (on file with authors). The Robert Wood Johnson and W. K. Kel- logg Foundation's joint initiative, Turning Point Collaborating for a New Century in Public Health, provided technical support for state and community public health partnerships. The Alaska Division of Public Health was awarded a Turning Point grant to conduct a statewide, collaborative study of the current public health system, and to develop and recommend strategies to strengthen the system. As part of this initiative, the authors' report assessed and reviewed laws supporting the public health system in Alaska. The report proposed reforms to improve both state public health laws and relationships among public health actors at the fed- eral, state, local, and tribal levels of government. The Article is also based in part on LAWRENCE 0. GosTIN, PUBLIC HEALTH LAW: POWER, DUTY, REsTRAiNr (forthcoming 2000); Lawrence 0. Gostin et al., The Law and the Public's Health- A Study of Infectious Disease Law in the United States, 99 COLUM. L. REv. 59 (1999).
