The Office of Indigent Defense Services offers a free PDF version of this manual for personal use. Link to free, PDF version.
Designed to assist the attorney representing a respondent or minor in civil commitment proceedings, this manual reviews North Carolina mental health and substance abuse laws pertaining to inpatient and outpatient commitments and admissions. Analyzes in depth the relevant statutes in Chapter 122C of the North Carolina General Statutes and applicable case law. Also discusses the collateral consequences resulting from commitment as well as the special provisions on commitment of respondents involved with the criminal justice system. Although the manual’s focus is on commitments and admissions requiring judicial review, and thus on proceedings requiring the appointment of counsel, the manual is a clear, usable resource for anyone who works in this challenging area of law.
