Estratto da Omnilex
The applicant challenged the Zürich authorities' refusal to grant him a lawyer's patent and enter him in the cantonal lawyer register. The Federal Court held that the filing had to be treated as an administrative law appeal, but the appellant failed to show that he possessed the required patent and his remaining objections were merely impermissible criticism of federal law. The appeal was dismissed in summary procedure. The request for free legal aid was refused because the case was hopeless, and court costs of CHF 500 were imposed on the appellant.
Art. 97 ff. OG, Art. 191 BV, Art. 36a OG; administrative law appeal against cantonal decisions on lawyer-register entry. Where a final cantonal decision concerns the application of the Federal Lawyers Act, the Federal Court treats an incorrectly designated constitutional complaint as an administrative law appeal. Pure criticism of the validity or desirability of a federal statute is inadmissible, since federal acts bind the Federal Court and all authorities under Art. 191 BV. If the appellant neither substantiates the legal prerequisites for entry nor raises arguable federal-law objections, the appeal is manifestly unfounded and may be decided summarily. Unentgeltliche Rechtspflege is refused where the legal remedy lacks prospects of success; costs are borne by the losing party.

Whether the filing had to be treated as an administrative law appeal rather than a constitutional complaint.
The filing was treated as an administrative law appeal under the applicable federal procedural rules.
Against final cantonal decisions on the application of the Federal Lawyers Act, administrative law appeal is the available remedy; the court therefore construed the submission accordingly.
Whether the refusal to register the applicant in the cantonal lawyer register should be overturned.
No grounds were shown to disturb the cantonal decision refusing the lawyer patent/register entry.
The applicant did not show that he possessed a lawyer's patent, and his remaining arguments were merely inadmissible criticism of federal law, which is binding on the court.
Whether the applicant was entitled to free legal aid.
Free legal aid was denied because the appeal was hopeless.
The claims had no prospects of success, so the request for unentgeltliche Rechtspflege could not be granted.
Whether the applicant had to advance procedural costs.
The request to be exempted from the advance payment became moot because the decision was rendered without requiring an advance.
Since no cost advance was collected in these proceedings, the exemption request had no remaining purpose.
