When was the last time you considered the oath of admission you recited when being sworn in to the Bar? When you were sworn in? When you heard Judge Corrigan recite the oath at a Bar luncheon? Just a few days ago, The JBA hosted a swearing in ceremony for newly admitted lawyers. As I listened to the new attorneys, who stood in excitement and nervousness, recite proudly and in sincerity their oath of admission to The Florida Bar, I was reminded of the general principles by which a lawyer is to abide in the practice of the legal profession - the principles which one is to obey and for which one may be disbarred for willful violation.
