Question juridique clé
Whether the public-law appeal against the cantonal refusal of legal aid was admissible in part and whether the request for legal aid in the federal proceedings could be granted.
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible only to the extent permitted by law, but the request for legal aid for the federal proceedings was refused because the appeal had no prospect of success.
Motifs extraits
A challenge to a refusal of legal aid causes irreparable harm, but the appellant's request for federal legal aid fails where the appeal is plainly unsuccessful.
