Civil Commitment

People facing involuntary commitment have a right to counsel because a commitment represents a significant infringement on a respondent’s liberty interest. In North Carolina, respondents facing involuntary commitment who have not arranged private counsel are represented by Special Counsel or an appointed attorney.
