2019It was, we think, a needless ceremony. [Langdon, 40 Mich at 685 .] Properly understood, Justice COOLEY was stating the seemingly unremarkable proposition that the oath requirement could not be satisfied by the taking of any old oath; instead, it could only be satisfied by the taking of an official oath required for the position by law or ordinance.

2019This Court reversed, holding that strict compliance with MCR 6.302 is not essential to ensure the validity of a plea and that, while the oath requirement is an aspect of MCR 6.302, the analysis of whether a plea should be set aside should instead hinge on "the nature of the noncompliance" and on whether the defendant's plea was "understandingly, knowingly, voluntarily, and accurately made." Id . at 649, 651-652, 773 N.W.2d 763 .
