Attorneys are required by state law to be:

a. at least 26 years of age
b. licensed
c. living within 100 miles of the courthouse
d. sworn to secrecy

is it B

Right.

Yes, the correct answer is B. Attorneys are required by state law to be licensed. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options A, C, and D because they are not accurate.

Option A states that attorneys need to be at least 26 years of age, but there is no specific age requirement to become a licensed attorney. Different jurisdictions may have different age restrictions, but it is not a universal requirement.

Option C states that attorneys need to live within 100 miles of the courthouse, but there is no such requirement in most jurisdictions. Attorneys can practice law in a specific court even if they live far away from it.

Option D states that attorneys need to be sworn to secrecy, but while attorneys have a duty to maintain client confidentiality, they are not generally required to take an oath of secrecy.

Thus, option B, which states that attorneys are required to be licensed, is the correct answer. Licensing requirements can include passing a bar exam, completing a law degree or equivalent education, and meeting other criteria set by the state bar association or licensing authority.
