Matter of P.G.J.

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court reversed P.G.J.'s involuntary commitment order because the record did not contain sufficient evidence that she intentionally and knowingly waived her procedural rights. The District Court relied on limited representations from counsel and did not inquire into whether P.G.J. understood her rights, the nature of the proceeding, and the consequences of waiving them. Because waiver was dispositive, the Court did not reach the parties' other arguments.
