Funny thing is, no. As I understand it (asked an actual lawyer while working with him), the courts usually waive swearing in lawyers, because them violating the oath they take with their state bar is just as easy to use to punish them for things like perjury. He said lawyers are held to a higher standard under their Bar oath than the oath a witness swears to.
And, Rudy was right, he was there in an official capacity as a lawyer, and not a witness. And, it's not a courtroom, and that bitch was just being a little bitch talking about swearing Rudy in. Even the chairman pushed his shit in on that.
Edit: thanks for the waste of time below which in no way shows we are "under oath"... why do people have to double down on being uninformed? problem in society and unfortunately, with some people, on this website.
Lawyers are officers of the court. Although they have a duty to zealously represent the interests of their clients, they must do so in an ethical manner. The cites in this post are to the American Bar Association Rules of Professional Conduct. Although the ABA rules aren’t binding, every state has adopted either the ABA rules or a substantially similar version making them law in each state.
Rule 3.3 of the ABA Rules of Professional Conduct says lawyers “shall not knowingly” make false statements to a court or offer evidence that the lawyer knows to be false. The latter means even if the lawyer doesn’t lie, he cannot let his client lie either.
Lawyers, per the ABA model rules, cannot lie to a court, in any circumstance.
Honestly, this website is starting to get so toxic with you know it all larpers.
Funny thing about an attorney, you’re an officer of the court and are therefore “under oath” anytime you address a legal tribunal.
And these fucking liberal smoothbrains want us to let them run a country ....

Aba Model rule 3.3.
Your “friend” sounds like a grade A dipshit
It wasn't a friend, it was a lawyer I worked with. Next time, read for comprehension. You know, the whole "words mean things" concept.
What? No

Guess you have never read the ABA mode rules then? Specifically 3.3.
Lots of terrible attorneys here, this movement is definitely in good hands with larpers like yourself
Me too, remember that paper you signed on being sworn in to the bar of your state? You shoulda read it.
No offense, but you are most likely a very, very mediocre attorney if you were unaware of this fact.
This guy is wrong then? https://youtu.be/cTs-ZKxS9SA?t=231
Yes.
Feel free to cite a regulation or GTFO
New York State if you don't have a preference
Literally any response other than a citation is proof you have no clue, thanks
Here you go, faggots
And specifically Rule 3.3:
