Law Day
Law Day is a national day set aside (May 1) to celebrate the rule of law. In 1957, the American Bar Association (ABA) envisioned a special day for celebrating our legal system and it was further established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. This annual day was created to strengthen our great heritage of liberty, justice, and equality under law.
Law Day Contests:
In celebration of Law Day, the Dallas Bar Association holds fun, educational contests for students within Dallas ISD to participate in each winter/spring. Classrooms are encouraged to dive into the theme and discover our great heritage of liberty, justice, and equality under law.
For 2012, “No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom” is the theme for Law Day. The theme underscores the importance of the courts and their role in ensuring access to justice for all Americans. Prizes and award recognition will be given to the winners in each category.
