March 9, 11:00 am–12:15 pm PST

$45

Tuesdays from 11:00 am – 12:15 pm through Mar 9

Course #7871

Instructors: Michael & Eleanor Willemsen

There are many ways in which psychological research and clinical expertise inform the law. Also, there is a body of law that governs clinical practice in Psychology and in Special Education. Topics will include criminal investigations, sexual harassment, mental competency, child abuse, involuntary confinement, and more.

In each class, there will be a law mini-lecture from Mike, a psychology mini-lecture from Eleanor, a presentation by Mike of one key judicial opinion that sets forth an important legal principle for that topic, and a group discussion led by Eleanor of a scenario that requires us to apply the material just presented.
