Law Day is Next Week - 30th Anniversary of the Canadian Charter

Tuesday, April 17, 2012, is Law Day, an annual event organized by the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) which this year celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Law Day is marked by projects and activities taking place across the country. Activities include lectures and education sessions on the law for high school students and the public, mock trials, courthouse tours, and poster, photography, and essay contests aimed at elementary and high school students.

The March 2012 edition of the CBC magazine National was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Charter.
