National Law Day 2008 – Thursday, April 17

On April 17, 2008, the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) will mark Law Day. The date corresponds to the signing of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms:

"The CBA – through Law Day – offers the public an opportunity to learn about the law and the legal system. Law Day activities in most areas focus on high school students."

"Law Day – Law Week in many jurisdictions - is marked by projects and activities taking place across the country. Activities include lectures on the law, mock trials, courthouse tours, fun runs, open citizenship courts, and poster, photography and website design contests aimed at elementary and high school students."
