Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Procedures for approving civil commitment, court hearings may use a standard of clear and convincing evidence. This standard is lower than the beyond a reasonable doubt standard used in criminal cases. Availability of conservator and habeas corpus are not court standards.
