Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a new certificate form for legal-aid applications should be adopted and how it should be used.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The new form was approved and sent to the judicial offices for use in legal-aid assessments.
Extrahierte Begründung
Practice review showed the cantonal system was applied uniformly, but the existing certificate often failed to capture applicants' financial situation sufficiently. The new form should usually obviate further inquiries, with tax records consulted only when necessary and with the applicant's express authorization.
