Many or most of you know that I took the Utah Bar Exam last July. However, since my current job as a judicial law clerk/bailiff doesn't require active bar membership status, I didn't see the need to pay the fees for an additional year. So I put it off till today.
I drove with co-worker Matt Griffiths up to the Salt Palace. We were sworn in before the Supreme Court of Utah and Judges Dee Benson and Thomas Greene of the Federal Court for the District of Utah. Judge Benson was a professor for one of my classes in law school. He gave the welcome followed by an address by Judge Greene and a welcome by a Young Lawyers Division rep. Then our names were read and we took the oath, signed the rolls, and that was that. Pretty simple, really.
And another insidious lawyer arises. My apologies to society. ;-)

Congratulations! We need more honest lawyers in this world. I never got back to you about our small claims court thing. It wasn't that great. It was decided that we were going after the wrong people. We should have been mad at the owner instead of the managing company. Whatever. Our managment company hired two lawyers who happened to be friends with the judge. Lame. However, they tried to get three grand from us (for their lawyer fees) but they weren't given that either. So, I guess we did well enough.
How many lawyer jokes are there?
Just two, all the rest are true.
You're assuming I'll be honest! ;-) Sorry the SC claim didn't go any better. I suppose you could appeal...or the 30 days to do so has probably run, I expect.
What do you call a dozen lawyers sky-diving?
Skeet.
Wah wah waaaaah. I've never heard the how many, that's good, I'll have to keep it in mind.
Heaven help us!
No really, congratulations, that's great. :)
Congratulations! You've finally sold your soul and joined the rest of em. Seriously, that is so so awesome, way to go! That is such an exciting event too, I remember going to Josh's and it felt so official and important. Great job!
