Fall 2023 Swearing-In Ceremonies

Posted on: Nov 1, 2023
Bar Bulletin Blog: General

On October 4th, the King County Bar Association hosted two swearing-in ceremonies which were the best attended in seven years, with 138 new attorneys participating. The King County Superior courtroom was packed with friends and family celebrating the new admittees’ achievement with outgoing Presiding Judge Patrick Oishi.

Keynote speakers Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and U.S. District Court Judge John Chun enlightened the new admittees with thoughtful insights on what is to be expected as these new lawyers venture into the legal profession.

KCBA President Karen Orehoski and New Lawyers Division Chair Alyssa Nevala provided memories of being sworn-in, and the virtues of KCBA membership, and to take advantage of the programs and networking the KCBA provides.

For over two decades, KCBA has hosted swearing in ceremonies for new admittees twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. We are proud to be part of a major milestone for every new admittee that has attended these ceremonies over the years.

Congratulations to our Fall 2023 New Admittees!
