Fordham Law Professionalism Orientation
On August 25th, the entire incoming class had the unique opportunity to hear from three members of the FLAA Board of Directors, Rose Gill Hearn ’88, Mark Hyland ’80, and Lena Dunne Wettre ’93 on the topic of professionalism. At the end of this enlightening panel, every student in the class rose and recited the Fordham Law Professional Oath. An incoming student/alumni beer and pizza reception capped off a memorable evening.
As I enter into the legal profession and begin my legal studies
at Fordham Law School, I pledge to act with the utmost good
faith and integrity.
I will study diligently, commit myself to honest performance
on every assignment and examination, and uphold, at all
times, Fordham Law School’s Code of Academic Conduct.
I will interact with colleagues and adversaries alike with
honesty, professionalism, and civility.
I will seek opportunities to provide leadership and to serve
my community and will behave in ways that reflect positively
on me, Fordham Law School, and the legal profession.
