Mauritius: 43 Prospective Barristers Admitted to the Bar Council

The swearing-in ceremony of 43 Prospective Barristers was held, this afternoon, at the New Supreme Court Building, in Port Louis, in the presence of the Acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Mauritius, Mrs Nirmala Devat and several other personalities.

In her address, the Acting Chief Justice commended the new barristers on their fulfilling career and extended congratulations for their well-earned success. She emphasised the significance of this day for both the barristers and their parents whose support has been invaluable.

Upholding the dignity of the court, underlined Mrs Devat, forms part of a barrister's duty. She further stressed that barristers must avoid any behavior that could erode public confidence in the legal profession. She also urged adherence to principles like honesty, integrity, and strict compliance with the highest professional standards, both within and outside the courtroom.

Moreover, the Acting Chief Justice advised the barristers to pursue their education while maintaining the decorum expected as Officers of the Honorable Court. She underscored the importance of embracing their responsibilities with dignity and expressed hope that they will quickly adapt to the new legal challenges.
