Abstract
This Article briefly traces the judicial and legislative evolution of the least restrictive alternative doctrine. Attempts by Virginia's judiciary to substantiate it are surveyed to further illustrate the doctrine's development, and a framework is suggested for the doctrine's future application to treatment of the mentally ill.
