Five Scottish solicitors, admitted by the Law Society Council as solicitor advocates with extended rights of audience, were introduced to the court at a ceremony yesterday.
Following the ceremony, the new solicitor advocates will be allowed to exercise their extended rights of audience in the higher courts.
Law Society president Alison Atack invited Lord Tyre to administer the Declaration of Allegiance to the recently admitted solicitor advocates during the ceremony.
Ms Atack said: “It was an honour to be part of this very special occasion and I’m extremely proud of the hard work and commitment that Scotland’s newest solicitor advocates have shown.
“I am delighted to celebrate their achievements and the society will continue to provide support as they embark on the next stage of their legal careers. Congratulations to all!”
