Congratulations
to all those who passed the Michigan State Bar!
Join us for this unique opportunity to celebrate the success of qualifying attorneys who are entering the legal profession.
The Detroit Bar and Third Circuit Court have partnered to conduct a virtual Admissions Ceremony on November 22, 2021. Introductions by Chief Judge Timothy Kenny and other visiting Judges. The issue orders of admission will be sent to the State Bar of Michigan.
An online reception following the swearing-in ceremony will be held. Join Chief Judge Kenny, Detroit Bar President Robert E. Murkowski and Detroit Bar Barristers President Morgan Schut, along with Law School Deans for this celebration.
Lawyers contribute in various ways, helping clients directly and holding public offices of trust. Admission to the Bar is the culmination of years of study and the successful passing of a rigorous exam. New Lawyers will take the oath of the profession. The Admission Ceremony marks the beginning of individuals beginning the practice of law and is celebrated with friends and family as the venerated lawyers and judges welcome the new lawyers into the profession.
