Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena—A Louisiana Jurist's Response, Sol Gothard

Seattle University Law Review

The establishment of mental health specialty courts is investigated as a potential means of addressing the complex legal issues and psycho-sociological problems faced by the judicial system in dealing with mentally ill offenders.
