Drug & Alcohol Addiction Research, Legal & Ethical Implications – Phoenix

April 10, 2009

The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University presents Hooked: Legal and Ethical Implications of Recent Advances in Alcohol and Drug Addiction Research. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 10, at the Sandra Day O’Connor U.S. Courthouse, 401 W. Washington St., in downtown Phoenix. It is co-sponsored by the College’s Center for the Study of Law, Science, & Technology and the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics at ASU.

The conference will offer a balanced, multidisciplinary set of leading national and local experts providing a range of current scientific, legal and ethical perspectives on addiction and how the problem is and should be addressed by the courts. In recent years, scientists have made substantial progress in understanding, diagnosing, predicting, treating and monitoring drug and alcohol addiction, especially pertaining to genetic and neuroscience evidence, which would be helpful to the courts.

The free conference is intended for judges, attorneys, scientists, mental health and addiction specialists, scholars and educators. In addition, free continuing legal education credits will be offered. The conference is the third in a series of biennial programs organized by the Center on subjects relating to the brain and the law. Previous topics were “Abnormal Brains,” in 2005, and “Brain Scanning,” in 2007. For more information, go to www.law.asu.edu/lst or contact Andrew Askland at (480) 965-2465, Andrew.Askland [at] asu.edu.
