Law Day

About Law Day in Oklahoma

Law Day is meant to reflect on the role of law in the foundation of the country and to recognize its importance for society. The Oklahoma Bar Association has been celebrating Law Day for more than 60 years with activities and events taking place over several weeks and in dozens of counties. The celebration was conceived in 1951 by the late Hicks Epton, a Wewoka attorney and 1953 Oklahoma Bar Association president.

This year, the theme is "The Constitution's Promise: Out of Many, One." To celebrate, the Oklahoma Bar Association Law Day Committee will hold its annual art and writing contest for Oklahoma students and will produce timely, educational videos that can be viewed on the OBA's social media. In the spring, hundreds of Oklahoma lawyers will also donate tens of thousands of dollars in legal services, giving free legal advice to the public through Ask A Lawyer.
