May 23, 2011 – Earlier today, more than 170 Marquette Law School graduates were admitted to practice in Wisconsin. The new lawyers were welcomed to the profession by the Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, Marquette Law School Dean Joseph Kearney, State Bar President James Boll, State Bar President-elect Jim Brennan, and Board of Bar Examiners (BBE) Director Jacquelynn B. Rothstein.
Chief Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson presided over the six ceremonies. Justices Ann Walsh Bradley, David T. Prosser Jr., Annette Ziegler, and Michael J. Gableman administered the oath in the Supreme Court Hearing Room.
Following each swearing-in ceremony, Justice Patience Roggensack spoke to the new lawyers. “A law school education is a privilege, one that you are fortunate enough to receive,” said Roggensack.
Personal courage
“You have accomplished thus far certain milestones, and they are important steps in your journey,” said Roggensack.
“Some parts of your journey will be very easy, smooth sailing. Other parts of your journey will require tough choices that will leave you in doubt about whether you are actually doing the right thing. It is the tough choices that will require personal courage and dedication to the principles of equality and fairness that underlie the law in the state of Wisconsin,” she said.
Roggensack told the new lawyers, “personal courage does not involve simply speaking, it’s listening to opposing points of view. It’s being able to muster the courage. It has been said that courage is grace under fire.”
Referencing Robert La Follette, she said he spoke about the need to protect the besieged, the need to check all points of view, and to speak up even when speaking brings vilification.
Quoting Robert F. Kennedy’s words “others see things as they are and ask why … I dream things that never were and ask why not,” Roggensack urged the new lawyers to remember these words. “Being able to take these values on will take fortitude and personal courage. At some point in your careers you may have need of that courage, the courage to question what is going on, the courage to propose things that never have been, Believe in yourself. Believe that you are up to the challenge,” she said.
