Matthew Van Horn, founder of The Van Horn Law Firm, has been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States — one of the highest professional distinctions an attorney can achieve.
Van Horn was one of a select group of attorneys from across the country invited by the American Bar Association to travel to Washington, D.C. for the Supreme Court Bar Admissions Ceremony, where he was presented before all nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court as part of the formal admissions proceedings. He was one of only two attorneys from North Carolina participating in the ceremony, representing the state during this prestigious event.
Admission to the Supreme Court Bar authorizes qualified attorneys to practice before the nation's highest court and reflects a distinguished level of professional achievement, experience, and commitment to the legal profession.
A Day of Rare Access and Insight
As part of the program, Van Horn met nationally recognized Supreme Court scholar Stephen Vladeck, who shared his insights into the Court's role, constitutional law, and the issues currently shaping the legal profession.
As an added honor, Chief Justice John Roberts hosted Van Horn and representatives from other states at a breakfast within the Supreme Court. Following the breakfast and a welcome from the Chief Justice, Van Horn was formally admitted before all nine Justices of the Court.
As a member of the Supreme Court Bar, he now holds lifelong privileges, including access to the Supreme Court Library and eligibility to obtain seats in the Court's gallery to observe proceedings.
"The Supreme Court represents the highest ideals of our legal system and the rule of law. Standing before the Court and being admitted to practice before it is both humbling and inspiring. It is an honor I will carry with me throughout my career."
