An action in a court of law is "a case." A lawyer who argues for a certain legal point "makes a case for" the point. In everyday speech, it means "to put together facts and logic to support an argument."
"OK, I agree that installing solar panels will be good for the environment. But you haven't made the case that it is actually going to save me money."
"We usually think of Stephen King as a slick, commercial writer of entertaining bestsellers. But a recent article in the New York Review of Books makes the case that his books have a real place in American literature."
"Cell phones a triumph of technology. But you can make a case that they have done the world more harm than good."
