The San Diego County Bar Association (SDCBA) hosted a California Bar Admission Ceremony on December 10th at the Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter Hotel. The Fourth District Court of Appeal, the San Diego Superior Court and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California hosted a Special Joint Session at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, December 10 to administer the Oath of Office for the induction of new attorneys to the practice of law in California. California Western School of Law (CWSL) had over twenty alumni who recently passed the California Bar in attendance. Upon passing the challenging California Bar Examination, new attorneys, as required by California Business and Professions Code section 6067, take an oath that they will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California and that they will act with “dignity, courtesy and integrity.

“We are excited to welcome new attorneys into the legal profession, recognize their years of hard work in getting to this moment and celebrate this remarkable achievement,” said San Diego Superior Court Presiding Judge Maureen F. Hallahan. 

“This is a momentous occasion for new attorneys and their families. It is only fitting that we welcome them into our country’s noblest profession in grand style through this special session of court,” said U.S. District Court Chief Judge Dana Sabraw. 

CWSL hosted a breakfast prior to the swearing in at the Westin with President and Dean Sean Scott, faculty, alumni, and staff. Judge Cyntia Bashant spoke at the CWSL event.  

Congratulations to the newly admitted bar members!
