About
Law Day is a national effort, held since 1957, to celebrate the rule of law, providing an opportunity to understand how law and the legal profession protect our liberty, strive to achieve justice, and contribute to the freedoms that all Americans share. Traditionally, the CBA's Civics Education Committee observes Law Day at the Connecticut Appellate Court in Hartford by hosting an event featuring an interactive activity, such as a debate or essay and art contest, for middle and high school students.
