Alabama Bar to swear in new lawyers

Two hundred and seventy-eight new lawyers will join the Alabama Bar Association tomorrow morning. The new attorneys will be sworn in at the Bar’s fall admission ceremony. The Young Lawyer’s Section of the Bar will host the event. The ceremony will be a ceremonial session of the State Supreme Court. Acting Chief Justice Lyn Stewart will administer the oath to the new members. Justin Aday is the Director of Admissions for the Alabama State Bar. He says the ceremony is more sentimental than official.

“It is entirely ceremonial, so someone who has been admitted has taken the oath technically separate from the ceremony, but this is an opportunity for their family and friends to witness that.”

The new attorneys will bring Alabama’s total Bar Membership to eighteen thousand one hundred and thirty seven.
