RSVP for the Swearing-In Ceremony via the LMU Loyola Law School events calendar
- Bring the State Bar oath card the State Bar mailed to you as part of your Bar packet. The law school will not have extra copies at the ceremony.
- If you forget your oath card, you are welcome to take the oath at the ceremony, but you will need to follow the directions in your Bar packet on how to get your oath card signed.
- If you lose your State Bar packet, pick up another packet at the State Bar of California, Office of Admissions.
- Being sworn in to the U.S. District Court is optional. If taking the federal oath, the law school will have hard copies of the form at the ceremony. However, you are responsible for completing the paperwork and sending it, with the appropriate fees, to the court.
If you are unable to attend Loyola’s Swearing-In Ceremony, your Bar packet also includes a list of other locations where you can be sworn in, or you can be sworn in by other officials. Loyola’s on-campus notaries are also available to swear in graduates for free. Contact the law school at (213) 736-1000 to learn more.
