EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
Each year in May the Hillsborough County Bar Association celebrates Law Day. Law Day is a national day set aside to celebrate the rule of law. Law Day underscores how law and the legal process contribute to the freedoms that all Americans share. Law Day also provides an opportunity to recognize the role of courts in this democracy and the importance of jury service to maintaining the integrity of the courts.
In Hillsborough County, Law Week is acknowledged during the first week of May and is coordinated through SERVE with the Young Lawyers Division of the Hillsborough County Bar Association to coordinate the following activities and contests:
This year’s theme was in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, “Realizing the Dream: Equality for All.” |
