Is there a constitutional right to appoint counsel in an action to enjoin gang activity?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Englebrecht, 106 Cal.Rptr.2d 738, 88 Cal.App.4th 1236 (Cal. App. 2001):
In Iraheta v. Superior Court (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 1500, the issue was whether there is a constitutional right to the appointment of counsel in actions, like the present one, to enjoin gang activity in a specified target area. The court first noted that in general the right to the appointment of counsel exists in civil cases only where a litigant's physical liberty may be lost. (Id. at p. 1503.)
