Elizabeth Kelley walks us through a review of the history of the Criminal Justice Section in the space of mental health and mental disabilities. The work of the Section in this space begins right alongside the Section in its first days. We discuss early collaborations with associations and the Wickersham Commission, amicus briefs and policy put forward by the Section in major case law, the CJS Mental Health Standards and more.
