Article 15 - Attorneys and Counsellors
466 - Attorney's Oath of Office.

§ 466. Attorney's oath of office. 1. Each person, admitted as
prescribed in this chapter must, upon his or her admission, take the
constitutional oath of office in open court, and subscribe the same in a
roll or book, to be kept in the office of the clerk of the appellate
division of the supreme court for that purpose.

2. Any person now in actual service in the armed forces of the United
States or whose induction or enlistment therein is imminent, or within
sixty days after such person (1) has been honorably discharged, or (2)
has received a discharge other than bad conduct or dishonorable from
such service, if such person has a qualifying condition, as defined in
section one of the veterans' services law, or (3) has received a
discharge other than bad conduct or dishonorable from such service, if
such person is a discharged LGBT veteran, as defined in section one of
the veterans' services law, if the appellate division of the supreme
court in the department in which such person resides is not in session,
may subscribe and take the oath before a justice of that court, with the
same force and effect as if it were taken in open court, except that in
the first department the oath must be taken before the presiding justice
or, in his or her absence, before the senior justice.
