What happens if the attorneys quit, and Holmes can't afford more private lawyers? Would a public defender represent her? That'd be quite the case to pull, I'd imagine. On cases where full teams of lawyers and paralegals are needed, practically speaking, I'd be curious what sort of resources a public defender might be afforded.
- nradov 7y agoPublic defenders don't represent defendants in civil cases. If Ms. Holmes can no longer afford an attorney then she'll have to appear pro se (or find pro bono representation).
- np_tedious 7y agoCivil cases usually do not qualify for public defender. But then again, I guess this one is far from "usual"
- iamasoftwaredev 7y agoGod I hope she has to deal with having an underpaid and overworked public defender.
