What is Law Day?

    In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower designated May 1 as Law Day. This day is an opportunity to strengthen our great American heritage of liberty, justice, and equality under the law. The State Bar of Michigan joins various local bars, businesses, schools, and other organizations in conducting programs associated with improving the public's understanding of our justice system.

Law Day 2008 Theme

    “The Rule of Law: Foundation for Communities of Opportunity and Equity”

    Fifty years ago President Eisenhower proclaimed the first Law Day a "day of national dedication to the principle of government under law." The ABA invites you to celebrate this enduring principle during the 50th anniversary of Law Day.

    Law Day 2008 will explore the meaning of the rule of law, fostering public understanding of the rule of law through discussion of its role in a free society.

Law Day Luncheon

    The annual Law Day luncheon will be held on May 1, 2008, in the Hall of Justice, Lansing.
