@Niner from your knowledge...what are commitment hearings.
I am --so not-- a court linguist.
Here ya go - found this! Better than what I could explain! LOL!
At the commitment hearing the judge will hear stories and facts about what mental or emotional problems the person has and how to treat them. The judge has to decide if the problems are so big that the person has to stay in the hospital, even if the person doesn t want to.
