Using quantifiable attorney behavior measures, instead of outcome measures, both before and during court hearings, this study attempts to evaluate legal representation under reform civil commitment procedures. Counsel representing involuntary commitment respondents full time were well prepared. Court appointed counsel, though better prepared than reported in studies done prior to reform, did not fully investigate their cases. Lack of adequate preparation was associated with a passive role and a non adversary position in court
