About this course
This course will examine current civil issues impacting the rights of individuals with mental disabilities (particularly psychosocial disabilities, such as schizophrenia and depression). Issues covered will include: involuntary civil commitment law, the right to obtain and refuse treatment within institutions, the right to receive care in the community, and the right to be free of discrimination. The course will also cover the ethical and practical issues that arise when working with individuals with mental disabilities. Students will participate in field observations and meet with practicing attorneys. *Students have the option to register for the course for three credits, which in addition to the two-hour weekly seminar entails either (1) writing an additional 10 pages for the final paper (i.e., for a total of 25 pages instead of 15 pages); or (2) participating in a placement approved by the instructor at an outside organization. However, placement opportunities are limited and may not accommodate all student demand.
