Law Day 2026

Today is Law Day in the United States.

For a lot of years after I retired, I was active in an organization who was very active advocate for the rule of law.  Before that, though not a lawyer, most of my work time was spent dealing in one way or another with legal matters such as contracts, etc.

A few years ago, while going through the papers of my friend Lynn Elling, I discovered a 52 page booklet produced for Law Day from 1959, produced by the American Bar Association.  The four links are the entirety of that first booklet, now 67 years old, but more current now than ever.  (The note on the cover was by a prominent twin cities lawyer who was president of the local group.)

If nothing else, read the first two or three pages of the first link.  The booklet is the post.  Certainly share with friends you know who are in the profession of Law.
