Representing and Prosecuting Defendants with Behavioral Health Issues (Ethics) (from Inaugural Criminal Law Behavioral Health Symposium 2024)

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the September 2024 webcast seminar, Inaugural Criminal Law Behavioral Health Symposium 2024.

This session covers one hour of ethics as it relates to the intersection of criminal and mental health law. Topics include, but are not limited to, insanity, deferred findings for the autistic and intellectually disabled, and specific intent. Learn when and how to apply each through both a fact- and an ethics-based analysis. Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (Competence), 1.2 (Scope of Representation), 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information), and 1.14 (Client with Impairment) form the foundation for any fact-based analysis and determination of a mental health defense strategy.
