Law Day Competition

National Law Day celebrates May 1st with a national competition sponsored by regional bar associations. The Greater Lowell Bar Association judges the best high school essay in this region on a topic provided by the American Bar Association’s annual Law Day challenge. The challenge highlights the liberties US citizens experience in a legal system that values justice for all. President Eisenhower created this program to expand awareness that “respect for the rule of law is the key to individual freedom and justice.”
