Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of free legal assistance with an out-of-canton lawyer was unlawful.
Decisione estratta
No. The cantonal rule limiting official mandates to locally registered lawyers was permissible, and no special circumstances justified an exception.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant did not substantiate any special circumstances requiring representation by an outside lawyer; the mere recommendation by the daughter’s employer was insufficient.
