“Your role as a lawyer is not just about winning but about upholding justice,” Judge Feika stated. “I urge you to be lawyers of repute and integrity, on whom the least privileged in our communities can rely to seek justice.”
He further admonished them to always attend the opening sessions of the circuit court, stressing that failure to do so would be considered a disregard for their statutory responsibilities.
