Legal Aid Alberta – Working with Clients with Mental Health Issues
| Legal Aid Alberta (LAA) is launching a three-part webinar series for lawyers exploring the intersection of mental health and criminal law, sharing practical knowledge, insights, and real-world experience from seasoned LAA staff and roster lawyers.
Part one, on Jan. 15, features Amna Qureshi, LAA staff lawyer, and Gillian Shiskin, LAA roster lawyer, who will provide practical guidance on distinguishing mental illness from unfitness, conducting interviews with patience and navigating ethical challenges when a client’s account conflicts with reality. |
