As part of the Lawyers’ Day celebrations, an oath-taking ceremony was held for newly admitted lawyers. More than 200 graduates of the Professional Adaptation Programme took their professional oath.

To become members of the Georgian Bar Association, candidates first passed the Bar Qualification Examination and subsequently completed the one-year Professional Adaptation Programme, which included both theoretical and practical components.

Irakli Kandashvili, Chairman of the Georgian Bar Association, congratulated the newly admitted lawyers on entering the legal profession and wished them success in their professional careers.

It is worth recalling that the legislative process for the establishment of the Georgian Bar Association began in 2001. In 2005, the organization was formally established as a membership-based public law corporation. November 8 was designated as Lawyers’ Day in Georgia.
