Today marks the official 50th anniversary, according to the American Bar Association, which has named this year’s theme, “Foundation for Communities of Opportunity and Equity.”
Today, Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard was scheduled to speak at a luncheon and award presentation in Fort Wayne, while members of the St. Joseph and Lake County bar associations, among other attorneys around Indiana, will speak to high school and junior high school students about the importance of the rule of law. In the U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, high school students attended a luncheon to learn about careers in the law, and the Marion County courts are winding down their juror appreciation week.
The Indiana State Bar Association and ABA support the efforts of local bars, and both have supplied information about how to speak to students and educate the non-legal community about the judicial branch.
Other events around the state to celebrate Law Day were featured in the April 30-May 13, 2008, edition of Indiana Lawyer.
