WASHINGTON, DC, March 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) On February 23, 2011 at 10:00am, RI Attorney Rui P. Alves was sworn in as a member of the United States Supreme Court in Washington, DC.

In addition to the substantial amount of forms and the fee involved in the admission, the criteria for the swearing in of a member to the United States Supreme Court include that the attorney be a member in good standing with the Supreme Court in their own state, that they be in the practice of law for a minimum of three years, and that they obtain the signature of two sponsors who are already members of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar.

Attorney Alves was deeply moved by the experience and said, "It was distinct honor and privilege to be sworn in today as a member of the bar of the US Supreme Court. Having a private audience with Justice Altito prior to Oral Arguments was a once in a lifetime experience. Justice Altito spoke about the cases that were going to be argued in a coming attractions format. As a lawyer, hearing a Justice of the US Supreme Court give you a preview of two cases that the Court was about to hear, is an event that very few people will get to experience in their lifetime. Equally as impressive was being present in the US Supreme Court during oral argument. As a lawyer, there are few events that compare to having your name read aloud in the chamber of the United States Supreme Court. I was seated almost directly behind the podium where the attorneys who were arguing the cases were standing. During the two hours of oral arguments, I felt the Justices staring down on me on at least half a dozen occasions."
