(American Honky-Tonk) Bar Association Induction

I had the day off of work today so that I would go with Eli to Montgomery so that he could be inducted into the Alabama State Bar. It was a very nice ceremony, and as always, my husband was HOT in his suit, tie, and spectacles.

The second part of the ceremony was an actual court session with the Alabama Supreme Court, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals, and the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals. There were 18 judges on the stage (1 of the criminal judges was absent).

Afterward we went out lo lunch instead of staying for group photo on the steps of the Supreme Court Building. And then we went to the mall to hang out at the bookstore before he drove to Fort Rucker for his JAG interview.

Some notes about the ceremony:

According to the State Bar, one of the guest speakers was from the Northern "Disctrict" of Alabama.

Signs everywhere pointed the "ADMITEES" in the right direction.

Supreme Court Justice Sue Bell Cobb said that it as "a honor" to be part of such "a exciting" time in the new lawyers' lives.

A girl was recognized repeatedly as being the sixteenth-thousandth member admitted to the Bar.

They're LAWYERS. Why would they need a firm grasp of the English language?
