Law Day

Law Day is observed every year to celebrate the role of law in our society and to cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal profession.

Each year, the Alabama State Bar commemorates the day with community outreach and Law Day activities for local school children. Any Alabama teacher can sign up to have a lawyer visit their classroom in-person or virtually on (or around) May 1, 2024, to give a 45-minute presentation to students of all ages. Students will get to ask the lawyers questions about their careers, how and why they became lawyers, and any other questions they have about the legal profession. In addition, middle and high school students will have an opportunity to watch a short video about this year’s Law Day theme, “Voices of Democracy,” which encourages Americans to lift our voices to maintain our system of laws and to ensure that our democracy endures.

To register as a teacher to have an attorney(s) visit your class, please fill out the registration form below, which must be completed by April 12, 2024. You will be contacted by a volunteer attorney during the week of April 22 to finalize the details. You can email LawDay@alabar.org with questions anytime.

The deadline to sign-up has now passed for 2024. Please check back in 2025!

Nearly 300 teachers have requested an attorney to visit their class on May 1, 2024. Now, we need your help filling those requests. We have organized the teachers’ requests by county, then by school. Volunteers will speak for 45 minutes.

If you are interested in speaking to a class, please click here volunteer and coordinate with the teacher using the provided contact information.

Age-appropriate materials and suggested topics of discussion will be emailed to all volunteer lawyers. In addition, we encourage you to let students ask questions about your careers, how and why you became a lawyer, and any other questions they have about the legal profession.

Those speaking to middle and high school students will be provided short video about this year’s Law Day theme, “Voices of Democracy,” which encourages Americans to lift our voices to maintain our system of laws and to ensure that our democracy endures.
