The Oakland County Bar Association will present "Representing the Client with Mental Illness" on Tuesday, April 19, from noon to 1 p.m. at the OCBA offices, 1760 South Telegraph Road, Suite 100, in Bloomfield Hills.
Attorneys representing a client with a mental illness must constantly evaluate whether their client is capable of acting in his or her own interest throughout a case, and adjust their representation accordingly. Speaker Judith Gracey, of The Gracey Law Firm, will cover the strategies involved in maintaining the attorney-client relationship and resources available for the mentally ill defendant.
Credit has been approved with the Oakland County Bar Association for 1.00 Criminal credit and 1.00 Juvenile credit.
Cost for the seminar is $12 for OCBA members pre-registration and $25 for non-members pre-registration. Oakland County MIDC court appointed attorneys can attend for free. To register for this program, visit www.ocba.org and click on "events."
