Let's try to focus on the rights & freedoms society robs citizens of when labeled with psychiatric diagnosis or exhibiting behaviours that make others uncomfortable. As lawyers who act for those detained is secure psychiatric facilities, we reflect today on all the clients suffer

Our club will also raise awareness about lawyer mental health and lawyering with mental health challenges. We will attempt to reduce the stigma and increase dialogue within the legal profession about experiencing mental health challenges while being a lawyer or law student.

A little about us: We strive to expose students to the inter-disciplinary nature of mental health law, including consent and capacity, guardianship, trauma-informed lawyering, NCRMD, and over-representation of people struggling with mental illness in the criminal justice system.
