Law Day 2010 - Thursday, April 15

Law Day is a national event held annually in April to celebrate the signing of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Launched by the Canadian Bar Association and first held in Canada in 1983, the theme for Law Day 2010 is Access to Justice.

Activities are being organized in many regions of Canada, including lectures, mock trials, courthouse tours, open citizenship courts, and poster, photography and website design contests aimed at elementary and high school students.
