Second District Appellate Court Presiding Justice Christopher M. Kennedy will administer the attorney’s oath to 23 new lawyers on Wednesday, May 7, in the Second Judicial District.
The group is among 282 individuals who will be sworn in and admitted to the practice of law in Illinois during bar admission ceremonies held in the state’s five Supreme Court judicial districts. The bar admission ceremony in the Second Judicial District will begin at 10 a.m. at the Hemmens Cultural Center at 45 Symphony Way in Elgin. The motion will be made by J. Matthew Pfeiffer of the Illinois State Bar Association’s Board of Governors. The motion will be seconded by Jennifer Luczkowiak, Director of Resource Development at Prairie State Legal Services. Justice Kennedy will rule on the motion, administer the attorney’s oath, and make remarks. A reception hosted by the Illinois State Bar Association will follow the ceremony. All of the candidates have passed the Illinois State Bar Examination and a required ethics examination and were certified by the Supreme Court Committee on Character and Fitness. In addition to Elgin, ceremonies will be held Wednesday in Chicago, Ottawa, Springfield, and Mt. Vernon.
