The New Hampshire Bar Association covers Friday's swearing-in ceremony in which this year's Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program graduates were admitted to the state bar, enabling them to immediately practice law in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire’s trailblazing legal education program, the Daniel Webster Scholars, graduated its first class of 13 law students, who were sworn in as members of the New Hampshire Bar on May 16, 2008, in a special session of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

These new attorneys, selected in the beginning of their second year of law school, have undergone rigorous training and evaluation to ensure, in the words of Program Director John Garvey, that they will be “client-ready” lawyers upon completion of the program.
