Law Day
2024 Student Law Day Contest Winners
The OBA Law Day Committee thanks Oklahoma educators, students and their families for participating in the 2024 Law Day Contest. With a theme of “Voices of Democracy,” the contest reminds us that in democracies, the people rule, and we must speak up and vote in elections to maintain democracy and the rule of law.
This year, 1,696 students from 66 towns and more than 120 schools and homeschool groups entered the contest. We received more entries this year than in 2023, with an impressive number of entries from counties outside the Oklahoma City and Tulsa metro areas.
This is also a testament to the amazing teachers and parents we have around the state who have done a wonderful job supporting Oklahoma’s children.
Thank you to all the students, parents and teachers for participating in this year's contest.

I hesitated before stepping towards the portal, mentally flipping through the pages of my history textbook at home. The air surrounding the portal seemed to shimmer more and more the closer I got to the portal, until suddenly I felt myself being sucked into it, a kaleidoscope of colors and lights engulfing me.
