A civil suit show cause that carrys up to 12 mos do I have the right to a court appointed attorney?

Generally, no. The 6th admendment right to cousel only appiles to criminal matters. The rule is that it only applies to civil matters that amount to criminal sanctions.

So there are some rare cases where a government civil action might be found to be effectively a criminal action, in which case the right would attach, but those are rare.

You mention: Carries up to 12 months. If this is civil confinement, then the right to attaches, since it amounts to a criminal sanction (I can't recall the case).

Court appointed attorneys are for criminal cases. It is also much more difficult than imagined to get one. You are required to show bank records and even equity in a house.

Civil suits are for money and property, they carry no jail time!
