South Texas College of Law Houston welcomed recent graduates to the Texas Bar on Wednesday, hosting a Bench and Bar reception and swearing in ceremony. This reception also honored South Texas graduates who serve our community as members of the judiciary.
Some of South Texas Law’s most recently credentialed attorneys were sworn in by the Hon. Erika Ramirez ’15. The judge for Harris County Criminal Court No. 8 administered the oath to the alumni who recently passed the bar exam.
“This special event is a culmination of all the hard work our alumni put in for several years — to graduate from South Texas Law and to pass the bar,” said Darcy Douglas ’07, vice president for advancement and alumni relations. “We are delighted to celebrate this noted beginning of their legal careers, and we look forward to all their achievements and success in the future.”
The law school offers an intensive Bar Prep Program — led by Assistant Dean for Bar Prep and Academic Support Lisa Yarrow — that has proven highly successful in preparing students to succeed on their bar exam the first time through. The Bar Prep team joined in the celebration Wednesday.
