Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s 30‑day involuntary commitment order, finding the court’s factual findings that Meredith B. was gravely disabled and that she had a reasonable expectation of improvement were supported by clear and convincing evidence, and any error in the initial screening investigation was harmless because Meredith had the opportunity to testify at the commitment hearing.
