Providing organization
Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law
Attorneys at the Bazelon Center work on issues and cases that push the envelope to guarantee rights, consumer choice, access to services, and autonomy to people with mental disabilities. In doing so, Bazelon Center attorneys provide technical support on legal matters and serve as co-counsel on selected lawsuits with private lawyers, legal services programs, ACLU chapters, and state protection and advocacy systems.
