Law Day 2025: Attorney Sign-Up Form

Law Day is observed every year to celebrate the role of law in our society and to cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal profession. Each year, the Alabama State Bar commemorates the day with community outreach and Law Day activities for local school children. Attorneys can volunteer to speak to a local classroom in-person or virtually on (or around) May 1, 2025, to give a 45-minute presentation to students of all ages. Students will get to ask the lawyers questions about their careers, how and why they became lawyers, and any other questions they have about the legal profession. Curriculum suggestions and materials will be available.

  • Thank you for volunteering for Law Day 2025! A member of the Lawyers in Every Classroom Task Force will be in touch with you to coordinate your speaking time and location.

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Classroom Resources

We find that, most often, students are mainly interested in hearing about your decision to become a lawyer, and the journey by which you became a lawyer and/or judge. We recommend that you share your own personal story and open up the floor for questions about the profession, how court works, what is a lawyer’s role in the process, and other ways in which you have put your law degree to use in your career.

You can also communicate with the teacher to find out if any of their current topics of study relate to the law.

Possible Questions to Ask Students

  1. What is the rule of law? Why is it important?

  2. What is the role of law, and how does it differ from the rule of law? Can you give an example of each?

  3. If a judge doesn’t agree with the law, can he change it in his or her courtroom?

  4. As a student, how can you be involved in the rule of law?

  5. As a student, where are you interested in engaging with the rule of law to change and make it better?

  6. What role does civility play in our society? Why is it important?

  7. What is a rule of law that you sometimes disagree with but is good for our society?

  8. How have civics, civility, or collaboration shaped your community? How might they help shape your community in the future?
