It publishes the quarterly Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. The Academy's Ethics guidelines for the practice of forensic psychiatry[1] form the basis of the guidelines of the Canadian Academy of Psychiatry and the Law.[2] They have also debated the medical ethics of psychiatrists testifying in death-penalty cases.[3]
