Only attorneys licensed in Kentucky can represent a client in a Kentucky court. The only exception is an attorney licensed in another state who is admitted for one case only. In order to do so, there must be local Kentucky counsel to sponsor that attorney in the case, and application has to be made to the KBA along with a filing fee.
