On Thursday I finally got around to getting sworn in to the Bar of
Massachusetts. For this I trekked up to the SJC’s new digs at the John
Adams Courthouse, definitely an improvement over their temporary
quarters at 1 Beacon.
I have no particular plans to practice, but I figured I may as well get sworn in before my Bar Exam results expire.
Edit: I neglected to add, as I had on the Carpundit
blog on entry on the new courthouse, that when I went to get sworn in
there was no one at the security check. I waltzed very slowly through
the metal detectors to create an extra-long buzz, but… still no
security guards. So I triapsed around the courthouse unimpeded. So much
for heightened security in the age of terror. As if the SJC has nothing to worry about.
Congrats!
mazel tov! i had no idea you hadn’t been sworn in
Welcome to the Bar!
Did you sign the books?
Based on the comment you left on my blog, I completely agree with your security concerns.
Strange.
Naw, I didn’t sign the books b/c I was totally out of synch. One of the clerks did personally swear me in. It was a bit weird to do that while people (I’m assuming pro se) were sitting around waiting for whatever papers they needed from the SJC (?). I should re-edit the entry to add the security thing to my original blog writeup.
