If you qualify to become a lawyer under Indiana's rules, you still have to take one more step before you can officially practice law. You must show up in person before the Indiana Supreme Court. The Court needs to see for itself that you are the kind of person who should be trusted with a law license.
Before you can be sworn in, you have to prove to the Court that you have good moral character and that you're fit to practice law. This isn't just a formality. The Court is making sure you're honest, responsible, and ready to handle the duties that come with being an attorney.
Once the Court is satisfied that you meet these standards, you take an oath. This oath is your official promise to uphold your duties as a lawyer. After you take it, you're admitted to the bar and can start practicing law in Indiana.
