Law Day 2026

Law Day is celebrated each year on May 1. The Law Day 2026 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.
