Right Or Appointment Is Qualified

Such limits can include: only certain types of individuals or certain geographic areas (like certain cities) are eligible; the appointed attorney does not serve in a client-directed role; the court decision establishing the right does not bind the entire state; a court decision or statute is ambiguous; or an established right has been called into question (but not entirely overruled) by later authority.
No Such Proceeding

The state has no case proceeding of this type, either because it never existed or was eliminated.
