Law Week Committee
Each year, the President of the United States declares May 1st as Law Day. It is the celebration of the rights and benefits bestowed upon all citizens through the U.S. constitution. In Philadelphia, we extend that celebration during the entire week in which Law Day falls. Numerous programs are presented at area schools and throughout the community to celebrate the American legal system. Some of the public service events which take place during law Week include a Law Fair at the Gallery where volunteer lawyers provide free legal advice and information to shoppers at the Gallery at Market East in Center City; LegalLine P.M. program, where free legal advice is provided over the telephone during Law Week by volunteer lawyers; and Lawyer in the Classroom, where volunteer lawyers go into city schools and talk with students about careers in law. Each year the YLD attempts to add new programs to Law Week.
