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

Examiners Director John E. Kosobucki.
Following each swearing-in ceremony, Justice Louis B. Butler Jr.
spoke to 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."
The State Bar welcomes the following new members.
These new admittees bring State Bar membership to
22,587. U.W. Law School graduates will be sworn in on June 19.
