CHARLESTON (AP) â Lawyers being admitted to practice in West Virginia would recite a pledge of civility under a proposal by the state Supreme Court. Supreme Court Chief Justice Evan Jenkins signed an order Monday that would put the proposal out for public comment, the court said in a news release. The court will review the comments and decide on final adoption. Jenkins said it's another step the court is taking to improve the practice of law in the state. Among those taking the expanded oath Monday were the court's justices, West Virginia State Bar President Tom Scarr and Jason Pizatella, president of the state Board of Law Examiners.
