Supreme Court Rulings Trickle Down: Washington Civil Commitment
Washington Civil Commitment La.: In the November, 1995, issue of PLN we reported Young v. Weston, 898 F. Supp. 744 (WD WA 1995) where a district court in Washington struck down as unconstitutional that state's civil commitment law. The case was on appeal when the supreme court decided Hendricks v. Kansas, 117 S. Ct. (1997) [PLN Aug. 1997]. The ninth circuit remanded Young to the district court for reconsideration in light of Hendricks. See: Young v. Weston, 122 F.3d 38 (9th Cir. 1997).
