The Hippocratic Oath. The Hippocratic Oath (Î¿ÏÎºÎ¿Ï) is perhaps the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear upon a number of healing gods that he will uphold a number of professional ethical standards. It also strongly binds the student to his teacher and the greater community of physicians with responsibilities similar to that of a family member.
Pauper's oath. A Pauper's oath is a sworn statement or oath by a person that he or she is completely destitute or a pauper, i.e. without any money or property. A person without the ability to pay court costs has the option to swear a pauper's oath in order to file a lawsuit without paying filing fees. Prisoners filing legal actions often use a pauper's oath because persons in prison are often completely without money or any means of acquiring any.
