Developed in partnership with the WSBA Health Law Section
Civil commitment remains one of the least understood yet most consequential areas of modern law, sitting at the intersection of mental health, public safety, and civil liberties. The concept of forcing involuntary mental health treatment is highly controversial, and is the subject of increased discussion and legislation. Should more people be civilly committed for coerced treatment, or fewer – and where should the treatment take place? This presentation by practitioners experienced in Washington’s Involuntary Treatment Act will examine significant recent legal and policy developments at the state and federal levels and their implications.
