Their activities encompass a wide array of responsibilities, including conducting thorough legal research, drafting pleadings and motions, participating in depositions, and presenting evidence in court.

They provide essential advocacy for their clients, ensuring that their interests are represented effectively within the legal system. Historically, this type of legal representation has been a cornerstone of societies that value due process and the rule of law, evolving alongside the legal frameworks designed to resolve disputes and maintain order.
