Abstract
Over the past 50 years there have been substantial changes in mental health legislation. Mental health legislation is no longer a simple matter. It requires reading and understanding, not only the basic legal statutes, but also their interpretation by legal professionals and researchers. It is critical to understand how law and legal information is organized. Just as you have to learn more specialized vocabulary as you advance through a graduate program, so must you learn a new vocabulary to work effectively with legal resources.
