I am a pathetic piece of crap, but I am an attorney

Since I only seem to blog about what I do in Wisconsin I might as well show you what I did there last week. Justin and I enjoyed our time with family, friends, and beer. (and we became attorneys too!)

I do not know how Calfornia's swearing in will go, but I imagine it won't be quite as intimate as ours in Wisconsin. Just me and Justin, and five others, families, and Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, Ann Walsh Bradley.

Here's what we promised to do:

I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Wisconsin;

I will maintain the respect due to courts of justice and judicial officers;

I will not counsel or maintain any suit or proceeding which shall appear to me to be unjust, or any defense, except such as I believe to be honestly debatable under the law of the land;

I will employ, for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to me, such means only as are consistent with truth and honor, and will never seek to mislead the judge or jury by any artifice or false statement of fact or law;

I will maintain the confidence and preserve inviolate the secrets of my client and will accept no compensation in connection with my client's business except from my client or with my client's knowledge and approval;

I will abstain from all offensive personality and advance no fact prejudicial to the honor or reputation of a party or witness, unless required by the justice of the cause with which I am charged;

I will never reject, from any consideration personal to myself, the cuase of the defenseless or oppressed, or delay any person's cause for lucre or malice.

So help me God.
