This program will help to identify and
eliminate biases against persons because of disabilities related to mental and
chemical health issues. Powerful stigmas remain attached to both chemical health
and mental health related disabilities. Because of those stigmas, discrimination
occurs both to impaired lawyers and by lawyers toward impaired clients and
potential clients.
Topics that will be covered include an overview of
mental illness and addiction, how impairment arises in representation, the role
of a lawyer when a client or party may be impaired, lawyer impairment, and
ethical considerations in such circumstances.
This CLE is approved for
credit through June 13, 2019.
