Baby lawyers will take a brand-new lawyer oath on Monday in Austin to promise to be civil and maintain integrity in practicing law. Currently practicing lawyers are also invited to take the oath voluntarily.
The Texas Legislature passed a law this year to change the lawyer oath to add a line to “conduct oneself with integrity and civility in dealing and communicating with the court and all parties.” Lawyers young and old will recite the new oath at the New Lawyers Induction Ceremony at 10 a.m. on Nov. 16 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin.
