</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">May 1<sup>st</sup> is a National Law Day of Action, and many lawyers nationwide are re-affirming their fidelity to rule of law by re-taking their oath of admission. In King County, there will be a ceremony
at the downtown courthouse, before Judge Ketu Shah, at noon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I just found out about this via KCBA, and was surprised to find my antisocial self not just wanting to attend, but genuinely looking forward to experiencing some unity of resolve with fellow lawyers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think we all need something to remind us of our duties to society at this foundational level. We are hardly samurai, but our oath means a lot, and taking it means that we have accepted solemn societal obligations.
Until recently we didn’t have to think about them much. Or worry about them. But I do think we are called now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I hope to see many of my colleagues at the Seattle ceremony on May 1. I really hope that colleagues in other counties will do the same. This is a national movement, and we would all benefit from a reaffirmation
that our work as lawyers is predicated on maintaining, however imperfectly, a system of due process, fairness, and equality under the law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For more information on the King County ceremony, see below. For the national effort, see:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><a href="https://lawdayofaction.org/retake-the-oath">https://lawdayofaction.org/retake-the-oath</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I spent a few minutes reading other states’ oaths. I think Washington’s is one of the best, actually. But I’m undoubtedly biased.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I also contacted Christopher Bhang, one of our at-large Board of Governors, and learned that May 1 as “Law Day” is an annual event, and there are multiple events available on both sides of the Cascades. An
RSVP is helpful so they can plan for an appropriate-sized space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For everyone who has any concern about rule of law and the imminent risk of its destruction, please RSVP and attend one of these events. For myself, I want to see my fellow lawyers in person, to know that
I am not alone in this. (I know I’m not, but acting in solidarity helps everyone maintain solidarity.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
