5th Annual Mental Disorder and the Law Conference – CLA and LAMDA Feb 22 2020

It’s that time again folks – the FAMOUS – Annual Mental Disorder in Criminal Justice Conference. A fabulous day of excellent speakers with a mock hearing you won’t soon forget to top it all off – Come and SEE this!! Added BONUS: I have a special announcement in store for the day as well – which I am very excited about. Jill Presser Meaghan McMahon Dr. Mark Pearce Thomas Whillier Carla Whillier Megan Savard Danielle Robitaille Roy Wellington Joanne Stuart Meghan O’Brien Dr. Rob McMaster Michael Davies and so many other friends and cherished colleagues – too many to mention.  Great value for the money and Loads of CPD we are expecting to offer too!

Turns out the full very nearly six hour video of the event has been available this whole time on CLA’s YouTube site – I highly recommend the mock hearing at the end, but it was a great conference top to bottom – and as it turns out, though we didn’t know it at the time, the last time we’d be together like that for years to come. The pandemic hit just three weeks later, of course.
