Regional Coordinators Laura Sanford (Norfolk), Anna Lembo (Suffolk), and Elaine Pourinski (Hampshire/Franklin) team up to help you score an “in depth” perspective of M.G.L. c. 123, 8B, and the District Court Judicial Standards. Get tips to prove your client’s competence even if they “deny their mental illness,” and bolster your Substituted Judgment proficiency.
