Please Consider This Your Personal Invitation

2023 Law Day events are either underway or coming shortly with opportunity for you to participate. The theme, “Cornerstones of Democracy: Civics, Civility, and Collaboration,” is exceedingly timely for these times. Our energy, interest, and attention are daily engaged as we question the nature of civics, civility and collaboration in the context of what we see, hear, and experience around us. The Law Day Committee has been active in planning and coordinating Law Day events to further interest and engage members.

Student art and writing entries have been solicited. Submittals will be judged and award winners honored at the student reception hosted at the Bar Center. Some student entries will be displayed at the Law Day Lunch.

A number of volunteers are already scheduled for the Ask-A-Lawyer program, an all-day community outreach in which lawyers address questions from individuals who call from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. with a variety of law-related questions. Have no fear, as some openings remain to help. Volunteers will be provided handy guides to aid in responding to questions. AskA-Lawyer is scheduled for May 1 at the Bar Center.

Two sessions of the Lynn Miller Law Day Book Club have occurred. Future sessions include one in March and the last on April 27 at noon. Openings remain to participate. The Book Club is looking to expand book club sessions proving more opportunities for TCBA members.

The Law Day Committee is also exploring a film event with more information forthcoming. As well, the Law Day Committee will collaborate with the Street Law Committee for civics programming for students centered on the fairy tale trial of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

And, the culmination of Law Day is the Law Day Lunch scheduled for Friday, April 28 at 11:30 am at the Doubletree Downtown. This year’s lunch speaker is not to be missed. The Law Day Committee is proud and pleased to invite you to hear Cherokee Nation’s Principal Chief, Chuck Hoskin, Jr. Chief Hoskin’s leadership of 400,000 members of the Cherokee Nation and the necessary collaboration with federal, state, and local governments that such leadership entails is a living exercise in the Cornerstones of Democracy: Civics, Civility, and Collaboration.

We look forward to seeing you then.
