Rule 89 Appointment of counsel for State officers and employees

When a state employee or official gets sued because of something they did as part of their job, they may have the right to have a lawyer appointed to represent them. This process is handled under a specific Delaware law (60 Del. Laws, c. 474).

The rule itself is short because it simply points to that Delaware law as the guide for how this works. If you are a state worker or official facing a lawsuit related to your job duties, you would need to look at that law to understand how to request a court-appointed attorney.
