VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR OUR
LAW DAY -- OUTREACH
TO MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS
IN BRONX COUNTY
on
Thursday, May 1st,
2008
The Bronx County Bar and Judiciary consider Law Day an
opportunity to reach out to the young people of Bronx County and let them know that we care about them and
their futures.
We want the our Bronx students to know the opportunities that are available
and remind them of their responsibilities.
This year's theme is
THE RULE OF LAW
Foundation for Communities of
Opportunity & Equity
The Law Day Outreach Program pairs attorneys with Judges
to visit middle
or high schools in Bronx County for a 45 - 60 minute presentation.
The presentations cover a
myriad of topics including: the law day theme, careers in the
judicial system, our constitution,
and topics suggested by the particular school's administration.
The school programs are scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and the
audience can range
from 30 to 100 students.
On the morning of May 1st, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. there will be a
kick-off breakfast for
the participating Judges and Attorneys in the Library of our
Association.
