The legal system's increasing awareness of and understanding regarding post-traumatic stress disorders is presented. PTSD is discussed primarily in the context of litigation involving both violent criminal and nonviolent offenses. Other potential applications of PTSD at trial are reviewed. Post-conviction strategies involving PTSD are also discussed. A comprehensive review of case law involving PTSD is summarized.
