The Law Day theme, as selected by the American Bar Association each year, is reflected in lectures throughout the state. In some instances, lawyers work with teachers to develop a talk more in keeping with subjects currently being studied by the class. Law Day was established by Presidential proclamation in 1958, and in 1961 the first of May was set aside by joint resolution of Congress as a date for celebrating Law Day. The Maine State Bar Association is pleased to recognize the significance of Law Day through this law related education program. The Maine Media Law Guide , a publication produced by the MSBA, is available for purchase to assist journalists in reporting on law related topics.
Price is subject to change.
The Maine State Bar Association also produces an annual publication on general legal information for high school age students, On Your Own . The booklet is provided to high school students throughout Maine each spring.
