Update on Launch of Law and Mental Health in Canada: Cases and Materials by Anita and Ruby, LexisNexis

Posted on December 9, 2022 by Anita Szigeti

Our beautiful book is now officially launched – in part – student e-Books have been published!

If you’re a law student, you can now purchase the Student e-Book version of this book, which is priced lower than the print volume.

Also, there will be a series of podcasts and webinars accompanying the launch of this book, all free – geared toward learning more about mental health justice, to accompany the material in the book.

Yesterday, we recorded two podcasts – the first on Inquests and the 2nd on Practising mental health law.

Thanks to Sarah Rankin, Jennifer Chambers, Jolene Hansell and Ruby Dhand for participating in recording these informative sessions.

We learned that these podcasts will be up in a week or so on Podbean here: https://lexisnexiscanada.podbean.com/

They will come with Substantive CPD at a critical time when people are looking for another hour or half hour here or there. Inquests will be 0.5 substantive, Practising MH Law 1.0 substantive.

So keep an eye out for all that if you’re interested in this area of law.
