A Utah Order Appointing an Attorney to Represent the Respondent is a court order issued by a Utah court that appoints a lawyer to represent the respondent in a legal matter. This type of order is typically issued when the respondent cannot afford to hire a lawyer and the court determines that the respondent’s rights would be best protected by having legal counsel. There are two types of Utah Order Appointing an Attorney to Represent the Respondent: (1) an order to appoint a court-appointed attorney, and (2) an order to appoint an attorney from the Utah Bar Association's Pro Bono Counseling Program. The court-appointed attorney is typically a lawyer that the court selects from a pool of court-appointed attorneys, while the Pro Bono Counseling Program attorney is a volunteer lawyer who offers free legal services to those who cannot afford to hire a lawyer. In either case, the court must make a finding that the respondent cannot afford to hire a lawyer and that the respondent has a right to legal representation. The court will then issue an order appointing an attorney to represent the respondent and the attorney will be responsible for representing the respondent’s interests in court.
