ABA YLD COMMUNITY LAW WEEK
For forty-three years, the American Bar Association has sponsored Law Day programs on Law Day, May 1. The Young Lawyers Division of the ABA has expanded the celebration to a week-long community event designed to promote legal education and service to the public. The Citizenship Education and National Community Law Week Committee and the Affiliate Assistance Team of the ABA Young Lawyers Division assists affiliates in developing Law Week programs that educate people in the community about the law, including individual legal rights and responsibilities, and provide pro bono legal service to the public. To that end, the Committee has prepared a planning guide in an effort to provide you with practical "how to" information on planning and implementing Community Law Week programs. While the ideas and suggestions contained within do not require an extensive budget, the resulting benefit to your community can be significant. You can download a copy of it below or by mailing your request to: Young Lawyers Division Community Law Week 750 North Lake Shore Drive Chicago, Illinois 60611-4497 fax (312) 988-6231 Many ideas and resources are also available from the ABA's Law Day Planning Guide.
