Swearing-in Ceremony

Join the HNBA, San Francisco La Raza Lawyers Association, California La Raza Lawyers Association, the East Bay La Raza Lawyers Association, and Association of Latino Marin Attorneys on Thursday, December 4, 2025, as we swear-in and welcome the newest members of the California Bar.

The ceremony is sponsored by Nationwide Legal!

The Honorable Maria Evangelista (San Francisco Superior Court) and the Honorable Araceli Martínez-Olguín (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) will officiate.  

Recent bar passers are welcome to take the Oath multiple times if they'd like to attend multiple ceremonies (Note that the California Bar registration card is only signed and submitted to the Bar once). 

This event is open to any new attorney. Family and friends are welcome! Even if you have already been sworn in with your school or another group, this is a great program to be sworn-in with your community.

Reception with light appetizers and refreshments will follow the ceremony.
