2010 Law Day Art & Essay Contest announced
The American Bar Association recently set the theme for Law Day 2010. The topic, "Enduring Traditions, Emerging Challenges" will provide an opportunity for lawyers and the public to consider how society can honor long-standing traditions in the law while successfully dealing with new issues and situations that challenge established patterns of behavior. The TBA offers students an opportunity to depict this theme through artwork (for elementary and secondary school students) or through essays (for high school students). Entries are due April 9.
