Watch the videos and review the resources below. Then, in a one page summary, identify the legal standards for the two types of proceedings: guardianships and civil commitments. Note that guardianship in this learning module refers to adult guardianships which are filed in the Court of Chancery. This is a different proceeding than filing for guardianship of a minor in the Family Court.
