Facilitating participation in the legal system for people with a mental illness


This section will discuss those features of existing legal processes identified in this study as increasing participation for people with a mental illness. The first part of this section looks at the way in which flexible service delivery of legal processes to people with a mental illness can improve their participation in these processes. The second part of this section explores the way in which courts that adopt a ‘therapeutic jurisprudence’ model may also improve participation.
