Congratulations to all the new Texas lawyers!
We’re honored to witness the swearing-in of Texas’ newest lawyers during our induction ceremony. This is a significant moment for most new lawyers as it represents a mark in the start of their legal careers. But, before Supreme Court of Texas Chief Justice Nathan Hecht administered the oath of office to the state’s newest attorneys, State Bar of Texas officers shared advice and resources to help them succeed in the profession. After that, the top scorer of the July 2024 Texas Bar Exam, Daniel Dreyfus, delivered an inspiring speech to his peers. Welcome to the profession, new Texas lawyers! #NewTXLawyer #TexasLawyer
