From the Paper:

"In an article entitled 'The Avian Flu Time Bomb', author Kristin Choo speculated that the legal system will play a pivotal role in preventing and responding to a possible outbreak of this deadly strain of influenza as they have in past public health crisis situations. With this new and scary health threat potentially looming over the horizon, many feel that lawyers will be called into action again to protect the health and safety of our communities while also serving to ensure the rights of those affected by the Avian Flu. They may be called upon to take part in the planning of responses to the Avian Flu such as vaccinations, quarantines, isolation, as well as other measures which may need to be taken. Throughout this paper I will discuss what the Avian flu is and why it is posing such a health scare to medical experts. "
