Individual tickets also are available. This event will take place in the 2nd floor rotunda of the Civil Courts Building, the lobby of the Family Law Center, and the 7th floor Judicial Conference Center in the Criminal Justice Center. This program has been generously underwritten by Ridgway's Legal Solutions. The HBA will team up with the Houston Public Library to present a Law Week Library Speakers Program at seven branch libraries throughout Houston. Volunteer attorneys will speak on topics selected by library patrons.
All programs are open to the public.
Programs for Students and Children Several programs will focus on children, in keeping with the Law Week theme. A Poster Contest will be conducted in Houston-area elementary and middle schools, while an Essay Contest will be conducted in high schools. Students are invited to submit posters and essays that emphasize the importance of freedom and the rule of law in all our lives. Cash prizes for the poster and essay contests are generously provided by Blake Pratz and Christopher Myers of Salomon Smith Barney. The volunteers will then help the pre-school children with a related craft to emphasize the story.
