Mr. Samson,
As requested, attached are the Connecticut statutes which provide information regarding Appointment of Counsel. You will need to refer to the Connecticut General Assembly's website http://www.cga.state.ct.us/ for the text, history and the annotation.
Our understanding due to budget cuts is that the format for the statutes has not been updated for statues revised as of January 1, 2000.
I hope you will find this information helpful.

I believe your inquiry is answered as follows:
Indiana has a statute regarding appointment of counsel for plaintiffs and defendants in civil matters. It is Indiana Code 34-10-1-2. The Indiana Supreme Court has recently construed the statute. The statute is quoted in the case (Sholes v. Sholes). I have attached a link to that case to this email. You can read the link to find the text of the statute as well as the courts' interpretation.
http://www.in.gov/judiciary/opinions/archive/12210101.trb.html
The court summarized its holding as follows:
1) appointment of counsel under the statute is mandatory; (2) counsel appointed under the statute must be compensated; and (3) Indiana Trial Rule 60.5 gives trial courts the power to order payment of appointed counsel [omitting portion regarding constitutional limits on raising money for payment].
I hope this is helpful to you

Re: Indigent Defense Request For Information - Iowa
Dear Mr. Samson:
In Iowa, appointment of counsel at state expense is dictated by statute. Iowa Code section 815.10(1) (2003) provides that the court shall appoint an attorney for an indigent person at any stage of a criminal proceeding, postconviction, contempt, commitment under chapter 229A, or juvenile proceedings.
Indigency is defined in Iowa Code section 815.9, and is in general, when the person has an income level at or below one hundred twenty-five percent of the poverty income guidelines published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Both of these code sections are available on the state website located at www.legis.state.ia.us.
Please contact me if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Becker
State Public Defender
