Wisconsin Lawyer
Vol. 80, No. 6, June 2007
On May 21, 149 Marquette Law School graduates were admitted to practice. The new lawyers were welcomed to the profession by the Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, Marquette Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney, State Bar President Steve Levine, and Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners Director John E. Kosobucki.
Justice Louis B. Butler Jr. told the new lawyers, "We have every reason to take great pride in our profession and have the most solemn obligation to all others who have gone before us to carry on our functions as lawyers and judges in a manner so as to pass on this heritage undiminished and untarnished. On the matter of professional pride and integrity, I suggest that these are the hallmarks which distinguish the true lawyer."
These new admittees bring State Bar membership to 22,587. U.W. Law School graduates will be sworn in on June 19.
