NATIONAL JUDICIAL TASK FORCE & MENTAL ILLNESS
Jun 5, 2023
On March 30, 2020, the Boards of Directors of the Conference of Chief Justices and Conference of State Court Administrators took action to establish a new Task Force to assist state courts in their efforts to more effectively respond to the needs of court-involved individuals with serious mental illness.
The Task Force will build upon the previous work of the NCSC National Advisory Committee supported by funding from the State Justice Institute. Their work and future plans are described in the transition report, The Future is Now: Decriminalization of Mental Illness.
