English term

qualify as indigent

English to Spanish Law/Patents Law (general)
Instructions as to rights of a defendant at arraignment: "A public defender may be assigned to your case if you qualify as indigent."
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Rosa Paredes

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"La justicia será gratuita cuando así lo disponga la ley y, en todo caso, respecto de quienes acrediten insuficiencia de recursos para litigar." (Constitución Española)

"calificado" y "cualificado" son calcos evidentes. Recomiendo consultar el diccionario jurídico de Alcaraz Varó. ( see below )

"Indigent" aquí se refiere, a efectos jurídicos, a un persona sin lo recursos necesarios que exige la ley para optar a un abogado de oficio.
"Indigente" no puede considerse una denominación legal sino socio-económica.

OK, anyway thanks for considering my answer. Good luck!
Note from asker:
The thing is, unfortunatly, that there is an asterisk at "indigent" and a note defining the meaning of the word. I I would like to use your answer, but the note then makes no sense.
