They are also called lawyers or attorneys. Sometimes, a special kind of public attorney called an attorney ad litem is appointed by a court to help a child during a legal case. The attorney owes the child loyalty, confidentiality, and good representation. The attorney general is the top lawyer for a state or the United States and helps the government with legal issues.
