Program Types & Tips
This section offers ideas on different types of programs you can use to spread the
message of Law Day throughout your community. These ideas are based on actual programs
that have succeeded. Suggestions range from producing call-in shows to putting on
practical law classes for the community in a People's Law School. In some instances, we've
provided sample content for these different program types, too. Don't forget to consider
using the ideas you find elsewhere on the site (such as in Talking Points or Practical Law Presentations) to
help you figure out what your program topic will be.
