Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the municipal decision refusing legal aid for the school appeal violated Art. 29 para. 3 BV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appeal against the school grading and conduct assessment was rightly considered hopeless, so legal aid could be denied.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that legal aid is owed only if the claim is not hopeless. Given the limited reviewability of school assessments, the teacher’s explanations, and the lack of concrete indications of error, the municipality could reasonably conclude that success chances were far lower than failure chances.
