#WWCDA New York Chapter member Elizabeth Kelley recently gave a book talk at Saul Ewing LLP on the second edition of her book "Representing People With Mental Disabilities: A Practical Guide for Criminal Defense Lawyers." Kelley was joined by panelists Dr. Carol Weiss of Weill Cornell Medicine (who wrote the chapter on substance disorders); Dr. Jemour Maddux (who wrote the chapter on forensic testing); and Richard Levitt (who wrote the chapter on post-conviction remedies). It was a fascinating and provocative presentation and discussion, followed by an equally engaging reception. Thank you to the Federal Bar Association of SDNY and WWCDA's NY Chapter for co-sponsoring the event.
