Activity Summary: The Tulsa County Bar sponsored Law Day programs that reached the whole community, including providing free access to legal advice through a Law Fair at a mall, a program at the county law library, and a television phone-in program. Through a new program, Juvenile Justice Day, middle school students visited the Juvenile Detention Center Courthouse and heard teens who had been adjudicated for various crimes discuss the consequences of their actions. The Tulsa County Bar also cooperated with schools and federal judges to host a mock naturalization ceremony for students who had studied the citizenship process and equal rights. An immigration attorney and a recently naturalized citizen led discussions. In addition, there were student contests, mock trials, lawyers in the classroom and career days throughout the county in the weeks preceding Law Day. At the Law Day luncheon, Justice Stephen G. Breyer of the U.S. Supreme Court gave the keynote address. Sponsorship Entity: The Tulsa County Bar Association and Tulsa County Bar Foundation, with support from the Tulsa County Bar Auxiliary, Tulsa County Judiciary and Judiciary of Northern District of Oklahoma, Legal Services of Eastern Oklahoma, private and public schools, the Tulsa Drillers baseball team, and various local businesses. People Benefiting: Thousands of Tulsa County residents, including students, seniors, and other citizens. Volunteers: Over 300 lawyer volunteers. Best Things about This Program: The Law Day luncheon - "Justice Breyer used our themes to create his own speech and the speech was broadcast to millions through C-Span television coverage." Involving more people and benefiting more groups in the community - "I think we were successful in reaching different groups of people in different ways and getting them involved."  Mixing new programs with proven programs - "We were able to improve on programs we had done in previous years, but we also launched some new ones that were successful, such as the mock naturalization and Juvenile Justice Day." Secrets of Success: "We have a lot of involvement from the judiciary, and they help us access people." How-to Advice "Work hard on publicity, not just in terms of getting things in the paper as they happen, but in getting the word out in advance. Use smaller community papers and other media to promote your programs and activities." Cost:   $10,000 Sample Programs Home | By Audience | By Location | By Sponsoring Organization
