Publisher Description
A.S., E.L., and C.M. appeal from respective orders detaining them for up to 14 days of involuntary treatment. A.S. and E.L. contend the petitions filed in their cases were defective and should have been dismissed because they were not co-signed by a physician. All three appellants argue that the social worker who testified at each of their probable cause hearings was not qualified to render an expert concerning their respective psychiatric conditions and that the trial court erred in admitting his testimony. E.L. and C.M. also assert that the trial court's factual findings that E.L. presented a likelihood of serious harm to herself and that C.M. was gravely disabled were not supported by substantial evidence. We disagree and affirm.
