Professor Jones courageously spoke out regarding his personal struggles with mental illness by writing an opinion piece for the Courier-Journal (available at http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080121/OPINION01/80121029/1055/OPINION). He will speak to law students, faculty, and LBA Health Law section members about his experiences. A question and answer period will follow.

Please understand that attendance at this event in no way implies that you personally have a mental health issue. We are simply trying to bring attention to the stigma and stereotypes that still pervade our culture's attitudes about these issues.
