Law Day 2009 Theme: A Legacy of Liberty – Celebrating Lincoln's Bicentennial
2009 marks the bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, regarded by many as our nation’s greatest and most eloquent president. Lincoln, who devoted much of his adult life to the practice of law, was the quintessential American lawyer-president. His background in the law informed both his actions and his oratory. For Law Day 2009, we encourage efforts statewide to commemorate Lincoln by exploring this rich and resonant theme – A Legacy of Liberty.
