We are delighted to announce that on April 27th, Austin Baxter received the news that he had passed the bar exam. He was sworn in on May 25, 2023, marking the official beginning in his career as an attorney – three weeks before he turns 25 years old.
This feat is a decade-long journey for Austin, as he set his sights on a career as an attorney after being selected to represent California at the National Judicial Competition during his first year of high school. Austin competed in mock trial and moot court on a national level throughout high school, being awarded a top appellate justice award and leading a mock trial team to a 6th place finish. In his senior year, Austin served as California Youth and Government’s 68th Chief Justice.
Austin began at Werge & Corbin LLC as a summer law clerk after his second year of law school and continued to work with us through his final semester of law school. He took a brief hiatus while studying for the February 2023 Colorado Bar exam and has since been back at the firm helping our clients.
Just under ten years after Austin first competed in mock trial, Austin has been sworn in as an attorney ready to represent our clients. We are thrilled for Austin and commend him for his hard work in achieving this remarkable accomplishment. As Austin steps into his new role as an attorney, we are confident that he will continue to excel at Werge & Corbin LLC. The entire firm is proud of his achievements and is excited to witness his growth and success as a lawyer.
Congratulations, Austin!
