The judicial system should, ideally, serve this function since both arguments for and against compulsory care can be represented and a judgement can be made.
The problem is that it is so costly financially and temporally that we can manage one judgement in years for a case rather than the greater re-evaluation frequency that is probably required for mental health.

- marcinzm 4y agoThe judicial system is far from perfect even when the people involved are free to find their own representation or are able to freely do their own research. Someone who is not allowed to even access their own finances or sign legal contracts will naturally have a much harder time finding good legal representation. Someone in an institution even more so.
