- How expert psychiatric evidence may be employed by prosecution and defence counsel from pre-trial to sentencing to probation hearings
- Various defences for which psychiatric or psychological evidence can be decisive
- Evidentiary and civil procedure rules governing the admission/exclusion of evidence relating to the mental state of a party
- Strategic and tactical advice for avoiding pitfalls and exploiting weaknesses in the opposing argument
- Types of tests and evidence presented by forensic psychiatrists and psychologists e.g. x-rays, blood tests, CAT scans, MRIs, psychological tests and statistical studies
