This updated text provides an overview of the state and federal law governing the practice of pharmacy in California, including discussion of statutes, regulations, and, where relevant, judicial decisions affecting pharmacy practice.  It includes a Study Guide for the CPJE (California Practice Standards andJurisprudence Examination for Pharmacists), leading the reader to the pages in the text and to clinical and legal materials on the Pharmacy Board's website that will help with the elements in the Board's recently-modified (2011) examination content guide. This book will help practitioners keep up-to-date on the many recent changes in law and regulations. 

Annual updates make it easy to follow changes in laws and regulations. Every pharmacist must stay abreast of those changes in the regulatory environment to ensure safe and legal practice.

Pharmacy Law for California Pharmacists attempts to make the law more comprehensible than it appears from reading the statutes and regulations themselves, while not oversimplifying what are often complex regulatory schemes. Questions and examples are provided.   This book is the required text for the mandatory Law and Ethics courses at the leading California schools of pharmacy, including UCSF, UCSD, and UOP.

This seventh edition of Pharmacy Law for California Pharmacists was written by Marsha N. Cohen, J.D., Professor of Law at UC Hastings College of the Law, who specializes in food and drug and administrative agency law and was a two-term member of the California State Board of Pharmacy and its first nonpharmacist president, and Sami Sedghani, Pharm.D., J.D.,a pharma and patent litigation associate with the national law firm of Latham & Watkins who, prior to law practice, was a hospital pharmacist at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, where he was responsible for clinical medication management, including review and monitoring of medication regimens of patients with complex disease states. It benefits from the comprehensive knowledge of the late William L. Marcus, co-author of the first six editions, who was counsel to the California State Board of Pharmacy for 19 years as a deputy attorney general with the California Department of Justice.
