MADISON COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION LAWYERS TEACH STUDENTS FOR LAW DAY

The Madison County Bar Association is celebrating Law Day by connecting lawyers and judges to students throughout the county. May 1st is Law Day. President Dwight Eisenhower established the first Law Day in 1958 to mark the nation's commitment to the rule of law. In 1961, Congress issued a joint resolution designating May 1 as the official date for celebrating Law Day. Every president since has issued a Law Day proclamation on May 1 to celebrate the nation's commitment to the rule of law.

The 2012 Law Day theme, "No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom," underscores the importance of the courts and their role in ensuring access to justice for all Americans. “This year, more lawyers and judges are speaking to students than in prior years thanks to the efforts of our Law Day Chair, Amy Meyer,” according to Madison County Bar President Ron Foster. Foster stated: “The willingness of our members to volunteer their time once again to help people learn about the law shows the importance of justice for all.”
