Admission Ceremony Registration
We look forward to celebrating you!
Please accept our best wishes as you embark on what we hope will be a long and successful legal career. To honor your outstanding accomplishment, the Young Lawyers’ Section of the Alabama State Bar invites you to attend a formal Admission Ceremony hosted in your honor this October. Please check back after May 31, 2024 for more details about the ceremony, including dates and registration info.
The ceremony is a wonderful chance for you to share your achievement with your friends and family, as well as a chance for you to make new friends and meet potential future colleagues. The Supreme Court of Alabama, Alabama Court of Civil Appeals, and Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals will all participate in what we hope and expect will be an informational and inspirational ceremony.

Ceremony Photos and Vendors
Immediately following the Ceremony, there will be a group photograph of all new admittees taken in the lobby of the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre that will be published in The Alabama Lawyer magazine. Please proceed straight to the lobby after the Ceremony to ensure you are included in the photo. After the group photo, you and any other lawyers in your family may also have your group photo taken for the always popular “Lawyers in the Family” photos that will also be published in The Alabama Lawyer magazine.
There will be several vendors and sponsors present who will have information on and giveaways of their products and/or services. We encourage each of you to visit our sponsors and vendors before and after the Ceremony. The Ceremony will commence promptly at 10:00 A.M. and will end by 12:00 P.M.
Formal Certificates of Admission
You may request to purchase a formal certificate of admission from the Supreme Court of Alabama that is signed by the Justices of the Supreme Court of Alabama and issued by the Clerk of the Court. This certificate is separate and apart from certificates of good standing and any other certificates you may receive from the Alabama State Bar. You may submit your certificate request and payment either electronically or by mail. This information will be provided this summer.
