Celebrating Law Day

Walk-in legal clinics will be offered at four Milwaukee public libraries on Saturday, April 30, 2011. These clinics are hosted by the Milwaukee Bar Association and the Milwaukee Young Lawyers Association. See their Law Day 2011 flyer for more information.

As part of the 2011 Law Day celebration, the Dane County Bar Association and the Dane County Legal Resource Center (DCLRC) are coordinating a book drive in order to have a book sale. The sale aims to raise enough money for another year's subscription to Shepard's, to which the library currently subscribes and offers for free in the library. Donated books are accepted at the DCLRC until Friday, April 29th. The book sale is open to all shoppers on Monday, May 2 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m in the cafeteria of the Dane County Courthouse. Please come and support free access to legal information!

To celebrate Law Day, the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the State Bar of Wisconsin focuses on outreach to schools. The American Bar Association (ABA) has developed an educational theme, The Legacy of John Adams: From Boston to Guantanamo, for use in the classroom and in the community.
