TJSL Congratulates Bar Passers at New Attorney Breakfast
The Thomas Jefferson School of Law hosted a breakfast reception at the Westin Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego on June 2, 2006, in honor of the School's recent state bar passers. The bar passers, most of whom are recent TJSL graduates, gathered with their families and friends to celebrate an extraordinary job well done. TJSL faculty and administrators also were present and offered their congratulations.
The "New Attorney Breakfast" is held in June and December of each year to recognize the successful passing of the bar for those graduates who took it in February or July. The festive reception precedes the State Bar Admission Ceremony where bar passers are sworn in by members of the local bench.
