THERE WILL NOT BE A COURT APPOINTED LAWYER IN THIS CASE. This is not an instance where the court asks you if you have a lawyer. Sam already had one in Cali and he presumably had one in Del. It is now his burden to defend against Paul's lawsuit. It is his responsibility to respond and once the process begins the court has little sympathy. That's exactly why you never want to be sued. Being sued demands a proper response and no matter amount of running is going to make it go away. Just like an IRS problem.
Sam has two defense options: file pro se with the court so that he can represent himself or he can file a petition with the court claiming that he is an indigent[poor] and needs a lawyer to defend him pro bono [for free]. I don't think the pubic defender thing applies here at all,it has to do when someone who has been charged in a criminal matter and can't provide his own counsel.
