Miss. Board. Bar. Admi. XII
The Board, upon finding the applicant qualified for admission by examination or by comity and reciprocity, shall issue to the applicant a "Certificate of Eligibility". The applicant shall file said certificate and a Petition for Admission in the Chancery Court of Hinds County, Mississippi, or in the Chancery Court in the county of his residence, or in the case of an applicant who is a non-resident of the State of Mississippi, in the Chancery Court of a county in which the applicant intends to practice. Said Chancery Court shall, in term time or in vacation, enter on the minutes of that court an order granting to the applicant license to practice in all courts in this state, upon taking by the applicant in the presence of the Court, the oath prescribed by law, Section 73-3-35, Mississippi Code of 1972, to-wit:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will demean myself, as an attorney and counselor of this court; according, to the best of my learning and ability, and with all good fidelity as well to the court as to the client; that I will use no falsehood nor delay any person's cause for lucre or malice, and that I will support the Constitution of the State of Mississippi. So help me God.
And thereupon the name of such person, with the date of his admission, shall be entered in a roll or book to be kept in each court for the purpose.
