“To our newly admitted colleagues, I extend my heartfelt congratulations. Your Journey has been one of perseverance, commitment, and discipline. The law is not merely a career; it is a calling one that demands integrity, professionalism, and a dedication to justice.”
The LNBA President asserted that the
duty of lawyers extends beyond the courtroom to the fabric of society, where justice, fairness, and the rule of law must prevail
“As you take this solemn oath, remember that your duty extends beyond the courtroom; it reaches into the very fabric of our society, where justice, fairness, and the rule of law must prevail.” Cllr. Varmah added
Cllr. Varmah further averted that members of the Liberian National Bar Association share a sacred duty of upholding the dignity of the legal profession.
Therefore, lawyers must at all times conduct themselves with the highest ethical standards by treating clients and colleagues with respect. Adding that the law is an instrument of justice, not a tool for personal gain.
Meanwhile, he provided that the challenges ahead of those inducted as members of the LNBA will be many, but with perseverance and a commitment to
excellence, they will rise above them.
He urged lawyers never to compromise the principles of justice and must always be a voice for those who cannot speak for
themselves.

principles, and you must always be a voice for those who cannot speak for
