In this class, formerly titled "Public Sector Mental Health Law," we will focus on the legal aspects of publicly-financed mental health care and the traditional and current governmental responses to mental disability. These issues stem largely from the movement known as deinstitutionalization, or the widespread release of persons with mental disabilities into community settings. The seminar begins with an historical overview of deinstitutionalization and the role of the law in that movement. After briefly examining the current public sector mental health system, using Ohio's system as an example, we will consider a variety of civil commitment laws and the legal issues related to those laws. We will also study the impact of American with Disabilities Act (ADA) on persons with mental disabilities, access to community-based mental health services, patient rights, and criminal law diversion alternatives.
