The University of San Diego School of Law Alumni Group Admittance to the United States Supreme Court
Christian Dichter & Sluga is so proud to announce that our Partner J.P. Harrington Bisceglia was sworn in to the United States Supreme Court Bar on March 21, 2023.
The University of San Diego School of Law Alumni, of which J.P. is President of the Phoenix Board, proudly sponsored its inaugural United States Supreme Court Admission group. To qualify for Supreme Court admission, applicants must have been admitted to practice in the highest court of a State for a period of at least three years immediately before the date of application; must not have been the subject of any adverse disciplinary action pronounced or in effect during that 3-year period; and must appear to the Court to be of good moral and professional character. Additionally, the applicant needs to be sponsored by two current members of the Supreme Court Bar. J.P. was sponsored by Doug Christian, founding shareholder of CDS, and Don Myles, a partner at Jones Skelton & Hochuli with whom J.P. tried a case several years ago.
J.P. described the experience as a humbling reminder of the importance of serving as an attorney. Part of the opportunity included observing oral arguments before the Court addressing key business law issues that affect CDS client needs. J.P. would like to thank the University of San Diego School of Law Alumni Office, Dean Robert Schapiro, and CDS for making this possible.
