Workshop: Dementia in the Courtroom Date: Friday 14 October 2016 Time: 14:45 - 17:00 Venue: TBC, Macquarie University All are welcome, but please register with Jeanette Kennett for catering purposes: jeanette.kennett at mq.edu.au Dementia is the single greatest cause of disability in older Australians aged 65 and over, with a significant associated economic and social burden. Given our aging population there will be an increasing number of people with dementia entering the legal system, creating unique challenges around evidence, capacity, responsibility, just sentencing, and management of offenders. Dementia may affect capacity to make decisions in various legal domains, including financial management and creation or alteration of a will. Fronto-temporal dementia (behavioural type) causes changes in a person's behaviour and personality, which can result in criminal behaviour. In this workshop, an expert panel will discuss a selection of recent criminal cases from the Australian Neurolaw Database (www.neurolaw.edu.au) where dementia has been a central issue and draw out the legal, ethical and policy issues raised by these cases. Expert Panellists will include: * Associate Professor Arlie Loughnan: Criminal Law Theorist * Dr Hayley Bennett: Barrister and Neuropsychologist * Dr Pauline Langeluddeke: Clinical Psychologist and expert witness Program: 14:45 - 15:05: Registration and afternoon tea 15:05 - 15:10: Welcome and Introductions 15:10 - 16:15: Presentation of cases and panel discussion 16:15 - 16:45: Q&A 16:45 - 17:00: Summing up and close All are welcome!
