Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court correctly denied legal aid because the appeal was hopeless under Art. 29(3) BV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The appeal was manifestly unlikely to succeed because the appellant changed the contested family-name allegation and raised a new matter outside the original dispute.
Extrahierte Begründung
Legal aid may be refused when prospects of success are clearly inferior to the risk of loss. The administrative appeal attacked a different name than the one in the original application, and the cantonal court could also rely on lack of functional competence for that altered request.
