TORT is proud to announce that the 2016 performance is entitled “Minnesota Jones and the Law School of Doom,” a parody of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”

Criminal Justice professionals have become aware that large numbers of suspects, defendants, and offenders suffer from mental illness. Many estimate that 25% to 40% of “low-level offenders” suffer from some form of mental illness. Treating individuals with mental illness in the traditional justice model–where arrest can lead to jail, conviction, and incarceration– has been expensive, ineffective, and inhumane in many cases. Justice system leaders in Minnesota have responded–both in urban and rural parts of the state–with creativity, intelligence, and collaboration.

This conference brings together experts to discuss the national debates on research with human participants and current thinking on best practices. Researchers, policymakers, bioethicists, patient advocates, and other stakeholders will explore research oversight, informed consent when research participants have diminished or fluctuating capacity to consent, community roles, conflicts of interest and industry sponsorship, and research with vulnerable individuals. This conference will be an opportunity to explore these issues in depth and from multiple points of view.
