The Mental Health Informed Lawyering Project (MHILP) invites you to join us for a lunchtime presentation by international human rights scholar Professor Arstein-Kerslake.

This event will explore the right to legal personhood as described in the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It will identify the demands of the right and the potential need to either significantly reform or abolish mental health law, guardianship, conservatorship, and substituted decision-making.

Professor Arstein-Kerslake has worked with the UN monitoring body of the Convention to establish the international interpretation of the right to legal personhood and she will share her knowledge and experience on this right, as well as its implications for domestic law.

Lunch will be served to those who RSVP.
