The American Bar Association will host its Law Day 2022 Launch Program on March 8 at 3 p.m. CST. The virtual program will provide suggestions and guidance for local Law Day celebrations, including a panel discussion on the 2022 Law Day theme, “Toward a More Perfect Union: The Constitution in Times of Change.” The ABA provides resources for schools, state and local bar associations, civic organizations and others that are planning programs and activities for public audiences. Access the online 2022 planning guide. Envisioned in 1957 by then-ABA President Charles S. Rhyne as a national day to recognize the country’s commitment to the rule of law, Law Day was established by President Dwight Eisenhower the following year. Congress issued a joint resolution in 1961 designating May 1 as the official Law Day.
