Forensic Psychology law and ethics

Find a Supreme Court decision that affects psychologists’ practice (such as Tarasoff) or forensic psychologists’ practice (such as Atkins v. Virginia, Estelle v. Smith, Ake v. Oklahoma, or Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceuticals). There will be two separate discussion topics!!! Discussion Topic 1: Discuss your Supreme Court case. You can assume that you know more about it than your colleagues, so please provide a short summary, and a discussion of the ramifications of this decision on psychologists’ or forensic psychologists’ practice. Topic 2: Address your thoughts and ideas about this course. What have you learned? What concepts are still too confusing or vague to you? What areas of mental health law appeal to you? Please use your response to Discussion Topic 2 to wrap up the experience of forensic psychology law and ethics and talk about your future directions in forensic psychology.(mine is a mitigation specialist hopefully
