Any states allowing online swearing in?

Post by scientists » Tue Apr 23, 2019 12:54 am

Does anyone know ANY states that allow candidates to get sworn in via Skype, email, etc. after everything (c&f, bar exam, etc.) is completed?

I know there's a federal court that has online application/swearing, but not in my state. Even if they had it, it would be a real pain in the ass. There's a whole lot of paperwork involved and it looks to me to be much easier to just show up and hand them the petition, the oath, the decree, the copy of your cert, the two cards for the district courts, the chancery court stuff, and about $600 worth of checks for all the fees, and that's if you don't join the appellate court. You'd also have to round up your own notary, sponsoring attorney, and get a judge to swear you in. Screw that, I'm just taking the two hour drive to attend the ceremony and taking the easy way out. 8)
