A Wisconsin Order for Examination under 971.17(4)(c) is an order issued by a Wisconsin court that requires a defendant to undergo a mental health evaluation. This type of order is commonly used when a defendant is charged with a crime and the court believes that a mental health evaluation is necessary to determine the defendant’s competency to stand trial. There are two types of Wisconsin Order for Examination under 971.17(4)(c): an order for a single psychiatric or psychological examination and an order for a multidisciplinary evaluation. A single psychiatric or psychological examination is conducted by a single mental health professional and is designed to determine the defendant’s mental state at the time of the crime and to determine the defendant’s competency to stand trial. A multidisciplinary evaluation includes the examination by a psychiatrist or psychologist as well as an evaluation by other professionals, such as a social worker, in order to form a more comprehensive picture of the defendant’s mental state.
