Oaths of office of attorneys, solicitors, and counsellors
Series Number
J0044
Summary
The laws of 1788 required judicial officers (construed to include lawyers) to sign two oaths: one renouncing allegiance to any foreign king, prince, or potentate and swearing allegiance to the State of New York; and the other swearing to execute their office to the best of their ability. Later laws amended these oaths. This series consists of the signed oaths of office taken by attorneys of the Supreme Court of Judicature and by solicitors and counsellors in Chancery.
