Local Ceremony

Brian November 19th, 2005

Today, Judge Henry Vanover took some time out of his schedule to conduct a local swearing in ceremony for all the new attorneys in Dickenson County.

Here is some footage of me taking my oath. It cuts in a little late, but you can get the idea.




The ceremony in Richmond was really nice, but today’s local one allowed our families and friends to get some pictures and be more involved in it.

A few more pictures here.

    That was a nice thing Judge Vanover did for you, James, and Joe. Nice to see also that they are making a premier on your blog :)

    Sorry, I meant premiere

    Yeah, Judge Vanover seems like a good guy. He said he remembers how it was when he went to Richmond for the ceremony. The late Judge Phillips did the same thing for him and he is carrying on the tradition.

    Ha. I am not sure Joe and James will be too happy about their premiere on my blog, but I guess since they are a new firm they will take any publicity they can get, right? They both seem like good guys.

    That was a nice gesture on the part of Judge Vanover. I’m sure your family and friends appreciated it.

    So, now that you’re a “all grown up” lawyer, any plans for your own firm, or will you stay where you are?

    Yeah, I thought it was nice of him too, Alton.

    “all grown up” - well let’s not go that far :)

    As of now, I hope to work for the firm I am working with until they decide to run me off.

    i just read patton is railroading adicts into jails by making methadone a crime, judges are confusing upholding laws with imposing there own sick social diseased will on others. fact is i never met a judge yet that has any real tangable skills, skills like building telivisions and computers from scrach. something i been doing since adolecents. that is proof judges manufacture criminals for prisons. proof they impose impossable and impracticle rules on people that can only cause more pain and suffering, that judge should be charged with practacing medicine without a license. what a moron of a judge
