Organized by Magnus Group LLC, this conference is part of the 7th Edition of the Global Conference on Addiction Medicine, Behavioral Health, and Psychiatry, scheduled for October 19-21, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Attendees will explore critical topics such as assessing criminal responsibility, competency to stand trial, risk of recidivism, and fitness for guardianship or civil litigation.
