2 Elimination of Bias CLE Credits Minnesota
Tuition: $125.00
An overview of the Minnesota Commitment Act focusing on legal issues surrounding mentally ill, mentally ill and dangerous, chemical dependent, and sexually dangerous and sexual psychopath petitions and their overlap with criminal prosecution. This session will focus on the challenges of dealing with these individuals and the inherent bias within the criminal justice system against those with mental impairments. A prosecutor, defense attorney and court appointed psychologist will offer different perspectives on the commitment process and what to do if you are ever involved in a commitment case. Interesting and informative even for attorneys not practicing in this area of law.
