Abstract: The linear or phenomenological laws such as Ohm's law, Fourier's law and Fick's law are derived for a relativistic plasma in an electromagnetic field. It is shown that the choice of a reference frame as proposed by Landau and Lifshitz entails-in contrast to, for instance, the choice of Eckart-the validity of Onsager's reciprocity relations.
