Law Day

History of Law Day: Typically held May 1, Law Day was first declared by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1958 as a special day of celebration for the people of the United States to celebrate our liberties and cultivate respect for the law in our country. The Baton Rouge Bar Foundation's Law Day is a nationally recognized program.
