Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court correctly refused unentitled legal aid because the recusal complaint lacked prospects of success
Extracted holding
Yes. The recusal request was hopeless under Art. 29(3) BV, so legal aid could be denied.
Extracted reasoning
Political or administrative officials are not biased merely because they previously held or publicly expressed a view on a disputed legal question. The appellant alleged no personal interest, animus, or particularly serious repeated procedural errors.
