Abstract:
Mr. Crotty, a district court judge, presents two case studies of mental health issues and the law. The first issue addressed considers when to hold a mentally ill person accountable for their crime. The second case he presents addresses how to deal with a person that may not be capable of self-commitment to an institution or program for their own good.
