Itmo Necessity of Hospitalization of Jayden A.

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court accepted review under the public interest exception even though Jayden A.'s detention and superior court proceeding had ended. It held that pre-evaluation confinement must remain reasonably related to arranging immediate transportation for evaluation and that requested judicial review must occur as soon as possible. Because the superior court scheduled review for what would have been Jayden's nineteenth day of confinement, the court vacated the scheduling order.
