Interesting. I wonder if that requires a lawyer or not. (Legal fees for this sort of thing are exorbitant in California, and the cases tend to be a stretch.)

It’s an odd (broken?) process if the judge would ascertain the person’s mental health. Hopefully, most judges would call in professionals.



The prosecutor brings it before the judge. There is testimony, the judge isn't directly doing the mental health assessment.

Typically a social worker is helping the petitioner figure it out.
