Law Day 2026 Law Day is May 1. This year's theme as set by the American Bar Association is “The Rule of Law and the American Dream.” The rule of law — the idea that no person is above the law — is what ensures the rights of the people to live their lives as freely as possible and to pursue their dreams.
