2022 Supreme Court Admissions Ceremony

Update: We received notice on May 6 that the U.S. Supreme Court will not be holding any of its admission ceremonies scheduled for May and June. Unfortunately, this means that our Community Outreach Event with Martha’s Table that was scheduled to coincide with the Supreme Court Admissions Ceremony will also be cancelled.

The Federal Bar Association’s next Supreme Court Admissions Ceremony is scheduled for May 15, 2023.

———-

Join the Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association for the 2022 Supreme Court Admissions Ceremony on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, at the United States Supreme Court. FBA members of all ages and levels of practice are invited to apply to be sworn into the highest court in the land!

A completed application consists of:

• The Application for Admission to Practice: The first page should be filled out online, completed in its entirety, and printed. Do not use “all caps.” The second page may be filled out online and printed or handwritten (if legible).
• Signatures: All should be original (wet) signatures from each of your two sponsors and applicant on the same page (although scanned signatures are currently being accepted due to the pandemic).
• Certificate of Good Standing from the Supreme Court or highest court where you have been practicing for at least three years (electronic certificates are currently being accepted – with visible seal – due to the pandemic).
• $200.00 admission fee, via cashier’s check, money order or personal check made payable to “Supreme Court of the United States” and postdated for May 31, 2022.
