While those with mental disabilities seek full participation in American society, including that portion conducted in the courtroom, the law and many of those who make and practice have not always been completely in step. However, the law and its practitioners are aware that people with mental disabilities are self-determining individuals, regardless of stigma and past treatment. Written to get legislators, law enforcers, court officials, lawyers and mental disability professionals up to date, this provides broad coverage of recent work and decisions on such issues as criminal and civil incompetency and dangerousness, diminished culpability, care and treatment standards, mental impairment and injury, experts' qualifications, limitations on presenting evidence and testimony, and representing persons with mental disabilities. It gives a clinical overview of definitions, classifications, diagnoses and assessment, and lists key terms, court decisions and legislation.
