: The University of Chicago Law School Faculty BlogVideo: Mark Heyrman on Involuntary Commitment to Mental Hospitals
Back in November, we brought you a podcast of Clinical Professor of Law Mark Heyrman giving a Chicago's Best Ideas talk entitled "Why the Legal Standard for Involuntary Commitment to Mental Hospitals Doesn't Matter (Much)." Today, we present the video of that talk. This is the first round of what we hope will be a significant increase in our use of video on this blog.
Prefer to watch the video offline, or want to download it so you can watch it on an iPod or other portable media player? A Quicktime movie file is available here.
