Restoration to Competency

Restoration to Competency is a legal process that helps individuals who have been deemed mentally unfit to stand trial regain the ability to understand the court proceedings and assist in their own defense. It often involves mental health treatment, therapy, or medication to address the issues affecting their understanding. Once the individual demonstrates sufficient mental capacity, they are restored to competency and can participate meaningfully in their legal case. This process ensures fair trials while prioritizing the individual's health and legal rights.
