"Whoever is admitted as an attorney shall in open court take and subscribe the oaths to support the constitution of the United States, and of this commonwealth, and the oath of office. " You solemnly swear that you will do no falsehood, nor consent to the doing of any in court; you will not wittingly or willingly promote or sue any false, groundless, or unlawful suit, nor give aid or consent to the same; you will delay no man for lucre or malice; but you will conduct yourself in the office of an attorney within the courts, according to the best of your knowledge and discretion, and with all good fidelity as well to the courts as your clients. So help you God." Revised Statutes (1836), Chapter 88, Sections 19-27, inclusive. Under the Act of I785, the Supreme Court in March, 1806, and subsequently from time to time, established general rules for the admission.of counsellors and attorneys, which rules were repealed and new rules made in 1810. These rules required the applicant for admission to have practised with fidelity and ability in the Court of Common Pleas for the term of two years before being eligible for admission as an attorney of the Supreme Court.1 ' The relation of a sworn attorney to the Court, and his powers as such attorney, were considered by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts in 1847, and the opinion by Chief Justice Shaw states the matter so fully that I quote from it. The question raised was whether an agreement made by an attomey bound a client who was ignorant of it, and who offered to show that the attorney had not been, in fact, counsel in the case for some time, although his appearance had not been withdrawn from the docket. The Court held the agreement binding, ...

This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lawyer's Official Oath and Office Most of what is contained in this book was gathered by me in the preparation of an address delivered before the Albany Law School in the Hubbard course of Legal Ethics, May 17, 1909. It has been suggested that its presentation in this form will be useful to the profession, as some of it is not otherwise easily accessible to all who are interested in the subject of the lawyer's oath and office. This, as well as my own belief that the dignity and impor tance of the lawyer's office and of the duties imposed by his official oath should be more fully understood, have caused me to print this little book. Why is any oath required for admission to the practice of the law? No oath is required by law for admission to practise in any other profession, even where qualifications to practise are prescribed or ascertained by examinations required by law, as in the case of physicians. But an official oath has always been required for admission to the practice of the law. Why is it required? What is its significance and what obligation does it impose? The significance of the lawyer's oath is that it stamps thelawyer as an officer of the State, with rights, powers and duties as important as those of the Judges of the Courts themselves. When a lawyer is admitted to practise and takes the required oath of office he has as much right to discharge the duties of his office as a representative or senator has to sit and act in the Legislature, or a Governor to exercise the functions of a chief magistrate. He has as much right to appear in Court and be heard for a party to a cause as a Judge has to hear and decide the cause. A lawyer is not t/ze servant of let's client. He is not t/ze servant of t/ze Court. He is an ofieer of the Court, with all the rights and responsibilities which the character of his office gives and imposes.

Download or read book The Oath and the Office A Guide to the Constitution for Future Presidents written by Corey Brettschneider and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A cleareyed, accessible, and informative primer: vital reading for all Americans." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review Can the president launch a nuclear attack without congressional approval? Is it ever a crime to criticize the president? Can states legally resist a president’s executive order? In today’s fraught political climate, it often seems as if we must become constitutional law scholars just to understand the news from Washington, let alone make a responsible decision at the polls. The Oath and the Office is the book we need, right now and into the future, whether we are voting for or running to become president of the United States. Constitutional law scholar and political science professor Corey Brettschneider guides us through the Constitution and explains the powers—and limits—that it places on the presidency. From the document itself and from American history’s most famous court cases, we learn why certain powers were granted to the presidency, how the Bill of Rights limits those powers, and what “we the people” can do to influence the nation’s highest public office—including, if need be, removing the person in it. In these brief yet deeply researched chapters, we meet founding fathers such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, as well as key figures from historic cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Korematsu v. United States. Brettschneider breathes new life into the articles and amendments that we once read about in high school civics class, but that have real impact on our lives today. The Oath and the Office offers a compact, comprehensive tour of the Constitution, and empowers all readers, voters, and future presidents with the knowledge and confidence to read and understand one of our nation’s most important founding documents.

Download or read book Oath of Office Means Nothing in Washington State written by Markus Overly and published by Rosedog Books. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markus Overly wrote Oath of Office Means Nothing in Washington State after the injustices he suffered, knowing that the people who violated his rights were also lawyers, judges, and elected officials who took part in this conspiracy. All the facts of his case are on court documents, and he firmly believes that this kind of injustice is going on nationwide. These taxpayer employees also took an oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution and the clients they represent. Unfortunately, the nation has watched in horror the Trump supporters who have a total disregard for the Constitution and blatantly violate their oath of office to the American people. The worst part is the ABA and state bars just, frankly, don't care what kind of behavior their lawyers are engaged in. Their first priority is to protect and defend the lawyers instead of immediately investigating and aggressively disbarring all who show and act with total discontent to the US Constitution they swore to defend. Their oath of office means nothing. About the Author Markus Overly is a lifelong citizen of Pierce County, Washington. He married Maka Melikishvili from the Republic of Georgia in 2007, and they have resided in Tbilisi since 2017. He has a twelve-year-old son, Mikho, and a twenty-nine-year-old daughter, Alexis. Overly has worked in healthcare for the majority of his life and holds a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration. Currently, he is a retired federal employee and has served in the US Navy, US Post Office, Department of Defense, and the Veterans Administration. In his spare time, Overly enjoys watching many sports, including women's sports. Oath of Office Means Nothing in Washington State is his first book, and he has enjoyed the process and satisfaction that comes with such an endeavor. He is considering writing a second book in the near future. Stay tuned. Overly encourages any who have experienced injustice as he has to email him at [email protected].
