The CR-180 form is used to request a court-appointed lawyer when someone cannot afford to pay for their own attorney in a criminal case. A person would need this form if they have been arrested or charged with a crime and want the court to assign them a free defense lawyer because they don't have enough money to hire one.
This form has fillable fields — you can complete it directly in the viewer on the right.
