C. ASU’s 8th Biannual Law and Neuroscience Conference

Topic: Mental Health and the Courts: What Can New Science and Technologies Offer?

Date: Friday, December 9, 2022

Time: 8:30 a.m. –  5 p.m.

Location: Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse, District of Arizona, 401 W. Washington St., Phoenix, AZ 85003

Description: “Join us for the Eighth Biannual Law and Neuroscience Conference sponsored by the Center for Law, Science, and Innovation ASU's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and held at the U.S. District Court.

There is a behavioral health crisis in our country, which has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As you are well aware, these problems affect every aspect of our justice system -- from competency proceedings, sentencing and probation, to probate and family court, including foster care, and civil liability. Our speakers include national field experts and academics, who will reflect the variety of practices and approaches to this crisis from around our country.

Dr. Thomas Insel is our prestigious keynote speaker this year.

We very much hope you can join us for what we anticipate will be an excellent discussion of issues critical to our judiciary. For any inquiries, please contact Zachary Cooper at zjcooper@asu.edu.”
