The 2012 Law Day Conference will take place on Thursday, May 17, 2012. For more information contact us at office@classroomlaw.org, or see information about the 2011 conference below.
Since 1981, more than 15,000 Oregon and SW Washington high school students have attended the Law Day Conference featuring exciting workshops that explore our legal system. The Conference was first started to celebrate National Law Day, May 1, by offering students a variety of provocative, informative, and timely workshops about legal issues and led by legal experts. The success of the conference has led to full-capacity workshops each year as well as fostered dialogues and discussion on how the law affects us all.
Classroom Law Project sponsors this conference in order to provide students with information to help make well-reasoned decisions. Workshops are interesting, topical, and so current that many are being argued in the courts today. When students leave the conference at the end of Law Day, they will be more informed citizens, know more about where to go for help, and, we hope, develop new interest and appreciation for being an active citizen.
