IndyBar: Shortridge Students Witness Final Path to Citizenship

The journey to citizenship was experienced first-hand by students at the Shortridge Magnet School for Law and Public Policy as the school, the IndyBar Public Outreach Committee and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana collaborated to host a naturalization ceremony on-site at the school Thursday, May 1. Pictured here, the Hon. James K. Coachys of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana administers the oath of citizenship to 74 new citizens from across the world. This was Judge Coachys’ final naturalization ceremony before his retirement from the bench later this year.
