Presented by Christopher Slobogin, J.D, LLM, in partnership with The American Academy of Forensic Psychology
This on-demand professional training program on Competencies in the Criminal Process is presented by Christopher Slobogin, J.D., LLM, in partnership with The American Academy of Forensic Psychology.
This program provides a comprehensive analysis of the law governing six competencies that arise in the criminal process: competency to stand trial, competency to plead guilty, and competency to waive legal representation, with a brief mention of competency to waive the insanity defense and other defenses. Although relevant research and assessment protocols are discussed, the focus of this workshop is the law’s approach to these issues.
Upon completion of this program you will be able to:
Describe the factors relevant to assessing competency to stand trial, plead guilty, and waive counsel
Describe a competency evaluation that addresses the fundamental issues relevant to the courts
Describe a competency assessment instrument appropriate to legal needs and time constraints
Describe a treatment plan to restore competency that addresses issues relevant to refusal of medication
