Law Day 2024 Event: Voices of Democracy

Welcome back and Happy New Year to you all.  As we begin this year, we know that the state of Iowa will launch the caucus process for the 2024 presidential election in just a few weeks.  This is a good opportunity for students to learn more about civic engagement and the election process.  Each year, the Polk County Bar Association gives area students a chance to promote civic engagement through writing, poetry, art, and/or technology talents.  

Law Day will be celebrated on May 1st at the Iowa Judicial Building.  There are opportunities for students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 to participate.  There are prizes available, and students can meet local judges and lawyers.  The topic for 2024 is Voices of Democracy.  You may learn more by visiting the Law Day 2024 page.  There you will find guidelines, examples of past entries, and information for K-5, 6-8, and 9-12 students.  The deadline for submitting entries is March 22.
