Description of CME Course

Many police officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, and parole boards have reformed how their court- or carceral-based work with patients who have mental illness proceeds. This article discusses how policies and protocols have evolved to help court and carceral workers meet mental health needs of people in their custody and considers which virtues and values should guide clinically, ethically, and legally relevant deliberations and conduct.
