I am thrilled to be taking on two leadership roles within the American Bar Association for the 2016-2017 bar year: Chair of the Young Lawyers Division Public Education Committee and Leader of the Young Lawyers Division Law Day Team.

The ABA YLD Public Education Committee has a website where we will post current issues of our electronic newsletter and updates regarding events.

Last week, the ABA announced the 2017 Law Day Theme: “The 14th Amendment: Transforming American Democracy.” Soon, the Law Day 2017 website will have resources for educators and the general public. If you are interested in this year’s Law Day theme, “Miranda: More Than Words,” information resources are available at the Law Day 2016 website. The ABA YLD Law Day Art Contest is in its sixth year and the work of first and second place winners may be viewed at the page for the 2016 ABA YLD Law Day Art Contest.
