Rule 41 Roll of attorneys kept by clerk; court record

Every court clerk has to keep a list of attorneys and counselors who are approved to practice in that court. This list is called the "roll of attorneys," and it works like an official record of the court.

In practical terms, this means there's a formal record showing who is licensed to practice law in that court. If you need to check whether someone is a recognized attorney, this roll is the official place that information gets kept. It also means the court itself, not just the state bar, keeps track of who its attorneys are.
