The following is a selection of articles on medicolegal topics—published in various American professional and academic journals—that recently came to the compiler's attention.

Some of the articles from medical and health care journals were published in the form of brief medicolegal “columns.” Examples of such columns—which appear on a regular basis in their respective periodicals—are “Law in Brief in Hospitals: Journal of the American Hospital Association; “Public Health and the Law” in the American Journal of Public Health; and “Law-Medicine Notes” in The New England Journal of Medicine. Entries for such articles include, in brackets and quotation marks, the name of the appropriate column.
