Dates and locations may be subject to change.

Overview

This five-day program provides basic legal, clinical, and evidence-based training in the principles and practices of forensic evaluation.

The agenda includes adjudicative competence, insanity, criminal sentencing, malingering, report writing, courtroom testimony, and ethics in forensic practice. The format combines lectures, clinical case material, and practice case examples.

To complete the training program successfully, and be presented to the DBHDS Commissioner as eligible to conduct forensic evaluations, participants must pass a written examination and submit written evaluation products, in consultation with ILPPP faculty.

Individuals who wish to evaluate juveniles will be asked to attend the Juvenile Evaluation Update training to complete their Commissioner eligibility.

Please register your interest at least two months in advance of the training date, since participation is invited by faculty.
