Location: Zoom Webinar
Please join us for this Virtual Grand Rounds, Pseudo-Professional Advice featuring Claudia Haupt.
Public demand for health advice has soared during the coronavirus pandemic. Numerous health experts, including licensed professionals and other individuals claiming relevant expertise, disseminated health advice on social media, television, and elsewhere. Some of this advice aligned with professional knowledge, some did not. And, some advice even resulted in physical harm to those who followed it.
Within the confines of the professional relationship, the First Amendment operates in a way that safeguards good advice. Outside of this relationship, by contrast, good and bad advice are treated as equals. Professor Haupt will examine the theoretical and doctrinal interplay among speech, harm, and expertise.
