2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET

The  three-part "Competency and Restoration Reimagined from Practice to Possibility" webinar series will provide insight and recommendations on how to make improvements in competency to stand trial systems and focus on 1) understanding current laws, cases, and issues; 2) competency process improvements; and 3) competency alternatives. An additional webinar on specific issues for defense lawyers will be hosted by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. 

The first installment, "Level setting," will provide an overview of the competency to stand trial system including current laws, current issues, and current lawsuits. This knowledge will provide a foundation for evaluating your jurisdiction's current competency to stand trial system. A new resource outlining the latest in legislative developments related to competency around the country will also be shared.
