• Meet Your Judges Programs
  Invite judges to classes or community groups to discuss their role in our justice system.

  Call attention to civic rights and duties and witness new Americans pursuing their dreams by hosting a swearing-in service. Ask new citizens to explain why they've chosen U.S. citizenship.

• Flyer Distribution
  Coordinate with local grocers, shopkeepers and fast-food restaurants. Ask businesses to insert your Law Day information in payroll envelopes.

• Proclamations
  Mayors, governors, legislators, city or town council members and school principals can all officially designate Law Day.

• Game Shows
  Use quiz or game show formats in Law Day presentations. Encourage local papers to run a Law Day quiz.

• Legislative Update Sessions
  At adult education centers, lawyers conduct community meetings on recent legislation, focusing on constitutional rights issues.

• Law in the Mall
  Volunteer lawyers set up advice and information booths at local shopping centers focusing on practical law issues like buying and selling a home and wills and estates (see Free Legal Advice Clinics for more ideas).

• Resource Guides
  Develop and distribute handbooks, including addresses and phone numbers for community services such as women's shelters, literacy groups or victim's assistance programs.

  Students, citizens, politicians, and law enforcement officials gather to discuss a legal issue of local importance.

• Lawyer for a Day
  Students pair with a volunteer attorney and learn what life in the day of a lawyer is like.

• Invite a Nonlawyer
  Bars holding Law Day luncheons invite nonlawyers and make the event a community mini-forum on justice issue. Each lawyer brings one nonlawyer. A panel of lawyers and nonlawyers looks at key questions, perhaps following a brief survey of opinions that could guide the discussion.

• Seniors Workshop
  Lawyers visit nursing homes and senior centers to assist seniors on aspects of elder law.
