So that articling students participate in a swearing-in ceremony that reflects the solemn nature of the event, the Bar of Montreal holds several swearing-in ceremonies throughout the year. Each of these ceremonies takes place in the presence of a representative of the Bench, who acts as Honorary President. This person and the Bâtonnier or First Councillor and a representative of the Young Bar of Montreal speak on each such occasion. Members of the Council land former Bâtonniers also attend the ceremonies.

Au cours de l’année 2021-2022, le bâtonnier sortant, Me Extra Junior Laguerre, a présidé 46 cérémonies de prestation de serment, lors desquelles 859 stagiaires ont prêté serment.
