L'expression «serment d'office» serait un anglicisme caractérisé. En effet, «of office» s'applique au serment que l'on prête pour prendre sa charge, ses fonctions, et correspond en français à «professionnel», sauf s'il s'agit du gouverneur général ou du lieutenant-gouverneur, le terme à employer étant alors «serment de fonction». 5, record 9, French, - serment%20professionnel
