They are dressed in professional attire and face a podium at the front of the room, where a speaker stands reading from prepared remarks. The students fill several rows, with additional attendees seated behind them. The setting appears formal and ceremonial, consistent with a law school swearing in event."/></image><image-cap/><quote>This morning, I had the honor of being sworn in as a Maryland Rule 19-220 student attorney. I am excited to begin this new chapter in my legal journey as I join the Criminal Defense and Advocacy Clinic this semester at the University of Baltimore School of Law. I look forward to working closely with real clients and beginning my career in the criminal law field.</quote><quote-name>Makenzie Pennington</quote-name><quote-info>Class of 2026</quote-info><tags><tag>Law</tag><tag>School of Law</tag></tags></item>
