I believe that Civil Gideon is necessary to provide due process to all citizens. Contrary to encouraging frivolous lawsuits, it would actually reduce stress on the courts because court-appointed attorneys would serve as “screeners” for meritous and meritless claims. In addition, providing court-appointed attorneys in civil cases would level and equalise access to courts, and that would serve a regulatory function that would, discourage illegal behaviour by companies and agencies that might otherwise behave recklessly.
