28. Some have argued that the informality of the mental health court and the lack of adversarial process results in a diminution of individual rights that needs to be preserved in the criminal courts. A True B False

True<br /><br />The argument that the informality of mental health courts and the lack of an adversarial process can lead to a diminution of individual rights is a valid concern. Mental health courts often prioritize therapeutic outcomes over traditional legal procedures, which might result in less emphasis on the protection of certain legal rights typically preserved in criminal courts. This includes the right to a fair trial and the rigorous testing of evidence. While these courts aim to provide more appropriate support for individuals with mental health issues, there is a debate about whether this comes at the expense of some procedural safeguards.
