      Those still have to go through jury? What happens if he cannot afford a lawyer?

          But that is for criminal cases as far as I know. You will not get a public defender for civil case as far as I know.

              I don’t think there are any court costs here. Not something he would be forced to pay. He gets an option to hire a lawyer or represent himself.
