No. On summary review, the cantonal judge could treat the appeal as hopeless and refuse free legal assistance.
Fundamentação extraída
The court applied Art. 29(3) BV and held that the chances of success must substantially outweigh the risks; based on the medical report and surrounding facts, the cantonal appeal lacked sufficient prospects.
