What is the test for appointing a public defender to represent a defendant in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ligda v. Superior Court, 5 Cal.App.3d 811, 85 Cal.Rptr. 744 (Cal. App. 1970):
The court stated (at p. 408, 23 Cal.Rptr. at p. 142) 'Since the court could not force defendant to accept representation of counsel (People v. Mattson, 51 Cal.2d 777, 336 P.2d 937), the court did the most that could be done when it assigned the public defender, who was familiar with the case, to act in an advisory capacity.'
