Film and the Law: “A Beautiful Mind” Understanding & Representing Impaired Clients
Join us for a unique Film & the Law program featuring A Beautiful Mind and guided by Sean O’Brien and a team of mental health and legal experts. This CLE explores the intersection of mental illness and effective advocacy, with sessions on evidentiary foundations for reliable mental health opinions, litigating competency, navigating stigma, conducting meaningful client interviews, and selecting qualified experts. After a screening of the film, a panel will unpack its lessons for attorneys representing impaired clients, offering practical strategies, ethical insights, and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals living with serious mental illness.
