What constitutes malpractice?

The practitioner of almost any 'professional' occupation can commit malpractice by failing to perform their duties correctly. As an example - the definition for LEGAL malpractice follows: Legal malpractice is the failure of an attorney to follow the accepted standards of practice of his or her profession, resulting in harm to the client. Usually, proof of failure to comply with accepted standards of legal practice requires the testimony of someone with expertise in law practice. Some states have special evidentiary rules applicable to malpractice claims.

What is a commit?

Commit is not a noun, but a verb meaning to act, promise, or decide. It can also specifically mean to legally remit an individual to a psychiatric facility. The word commit is often used to indicate engaging in a criminal act (to commit a crime). The noun forms are commission (act), or commitment (promise or agreement). The word "commit" may be used informally as a noun to mean a "commitment" which is made when an athlete accepts a scholarship offer from a university or college. The athlete "commits" himself, to some degree legally, to attend the school.
