    One hundred thirty Marquette Law School graduates were admitted to practice on Monday. Surrounded by family and friends, the new lawyers were welcomed to the profession by members of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Marquette Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney, State Bar President-elect D. Michael Guerin, and Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners Director Gene Rankin.

    Justices Neil Patrick Crooks, David T. Prosser, Patience D. Roggensack, and Louis B. Butler administered the oath in the supreme court hearing room during four ceremonies throughout the day. Following each swearing in ceremony, Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson spoke to the new lawyers, "Be grateful for the support of your family and friends, for the opportunities that will be presented to you, and for the good will you can accomplish during your career.

    Marquette Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney said, "Each and every student in the class of 2005 has shown a willingness to assume the extraordinary in their personal and professional responsibilities. I will surely miss them as students. However, I look forward to working with them as colleagues."

    "Today is a day that sets you apart as a human being," observed State Bar President-elect D. Michael Guerin, alsoa Marquette Law School alumni. "What you have learned in law school provides you with the skills you need to succeed, because the ultimate beneficiary of your skills and knowledge is your client."

    "You are privileged to be here today (for admission), to have the support of your family and friends, and the support of 21,000 members of the State Bar of Wisconsin to get you involved in activities for the benefit of the profession," he said.

    Following the swearing in ceremonies, the new lawyers attended a reception at the Monona Terrace Convention Center hosted by the State Bar of Wisconsin. During the reception, each new attorney signs the supreme court roll that has been signed by every lawyer admitted to practice in Wisconsin.

    More than 100 U.W. Law School graduates will be sworn in on June 21.
