May 1 is Law Day

May 1 is Law Day, a national observance to honor the importance of our country's legal and judicial systems. In recognition of Law Day, the Law Library is featuring a display which highlights information about Law Day, including this year's theme, Realizing the Dream: Equality for All. For more information on Law Day and the inspiration for the theme, visit the Law Day page on the ABA's website. The Library of Congress has also compiled a bibliography of Law Day resources, available here.

As part of the display, the library is offering a drawing contest for a piece of original artwork that best represents this year's theme. The winner will receive a Law Day T-shirt:

There are art materials included as part of the display to assist in creating your masterpieces. Just sign your creation with your name and bring it to the law library Circulation/Reference desk to enter it in the contest. A winner will be selected from submissions made prior to 4:00PM on May 2nd. For those that are still studying for finals, taking a few minutes out of your day to engage in a creative pursuit may actually boost your learning. See a recent blog post from Scientific American citing to studies showing the link between creativity and education.
