The
landscape of competency has undergone a significant shift as courts and
legislatures have increasingly recognized that definitions of legal competency
must be closely tailored to context and have struggled to respect the competing
interests at stake in these determinations. This program will explore current,
contested issues of competency in criminal and immigration proceedings.
Panelists will examine the evolving role of mental capacity in removal
proceedings, custodial interrogations, self-representation at criminal trials,
and execution. The panel will conclude with a discussion of possible revisions
to the competency portions of the mental health standards of the American Bar
Association Criminal Justice Standards. Business meeting at program conclusion.
