Law Day 2022
Members commemorated Law Day on May 5 at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Reading. This year's Law Day Theme was "Toward a More Perfect Union: The Constitution in Times of Change." Keynote speaker Nicholas Mosvick, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Content at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, explored that theme by recounting times throughout our nation's history when George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other presidents tested the limits of their Constitutional authority. In addition, the Bar Association recognized Fleetwood High School’s Mock Trial team for winning the 2022 Berks County Mock Trial Championship. It was the seventh consecutive year Fleetwood took home the Berks title. And Fleetwood became the first Mock Trial team from Berks to reach the state championship in 30 years, advancing to the semifinals. Finally, Bar Association President congratulated the winners of the Law Day Multimedia Competition — each one taking home a cash prize for their creative efforts.
