Law Day, May 1st, is a special day of celebration in the United States for the purpose of reaffirming the ideals of equality and justice under the law.  Each year, Law Day in Gloucester County is funded through a New Jersey State Bar Foundation grant and any remaining balance is paid by the Gloucester County Bar Foundation.  Four students plus a teach advisor from each high school in Gloucester County are invited to participate in the Law Day Program.  In addition, the high school Mock Trial teams and members of the Gloucester County Bar Association are invited.

Law Day provides an opportunity for students to learn about the court system.  Awards for essay contests and scholarships are given out at the annual Law Day Luncheon.  Everyone enjoys a buffet style lunch held at Autletto Caterers in Almonesson, New Jersey.  A guest speaker entertains the participants each year.  Past speakers have included judges, TV and radio personalities and politicians.  The luncheon is free for students and advisors.

The Foundation's 2011 Annual Law Day luncheon will be held on Friday, May 6, 2011.  Details to follow.
