2024 Law Day Highlights

E VERY MAY, WE CELEBRATE Law Day, but the Law Day Committee stays busy with plan ning and promotion throughout the year. The Law Day Art and Writing Contest promotion began last fall, and more than 1,600 students entered the contest. The Law Day Committee met Feb. 6 for contest judging and held the

Awards Ceremony on April 4 at the state Capitol. Twenty-four students received awards for their phenomenal artwork and writing. A few weeks later, on Wednesday, May 1, attorneys from across the state met at their local county bars to pro vide free legal advice to Oklahomans in need. Hundreds of calls and more than 500 emails were answered.

Throughout the month of May, many other Law Day events were held by county bar associations across the state. The Oklahoma Bar Association is proud of our members’ continued contribu tions to Law Day, recognizing the importance of the rule of law and lawyer contributions to the community.
