In 1958, President Dwight Eisenhower established the first Law Day, emphasizing our nation’s “great heritage of liberty, justice and equality under the law.” He underscored the very traditions that form the foundation of our justice system, including the rule of law and the guaranteed fundamental rights of individuals. Eisenhower also stressed our moral and civic obligation to preserve and strengthen these rights.

We now celebrate the 53rd Law Day understanding that it is lawyers who protect these fundamental rights despite the constant challenges faced by our society.
