Hundreds of law students kicked off a new chapter in their lives this month with law school orientation programs at Seton Hall and Rutgers, and New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) officers were on hand to celebrate their first steps into the state’s legal community. NJSBA President John E. Keefe Jr. gave remarks and administered the “Lawyer’s Pledge” to students at Seton Hall and Rutgers Law in Camden. President-Elect Evelyn Padin did the same at Rutgers Law in Newark.

Keefe recalled his own days as a law student, and the connections he made there. “Take advantage of everything that’s coming your way,” he said. He encouraged them to build relationships with one another, and added, “although it’s competitive, help each other out, because you will see each other again.”
