In a court case, attorneys who are licensed by the bar association represent clients. These licensed lawyers have completed the necessary education, passed the bar exam, and adhered to ethical standards set by the bar association. They advocate for their clients' interests, provide legal advice, and navigate the legal process on their behalf.
