Law Day

Law Day is recognized each year to celebrate the rule of law and highlight how our legal system supports the rights and freedoms we rely on. The Detroit Bar Association and the Third Judicial Circuit Court host an annual Law Day program that brings this idea to life for local high school students.

Students from more than a dozen public, private, and charter schools take part in the event, which includes essay and scholarship contests, as well as mock oral arguments in front of judges from the Third Circuit Court. The program gives students a closer look at how the legal system works and what a future in law might involve.

This year, Wright Beamer attorney Hannah Smith volunteered to help make the day a success. She worked with students from Detroit Public Schools, teaching the basics of oral argument and helping them prepare to present their cases in a courtroom setting. Afterward, the students had the chance to connect with attorneys, judges, and court staff over lunch and learn more about the legal profession.

Law Day continues to be a valuable opportunity for students to engage with real-world legal issues and build their confidence in public speaking, critical thinking, and advocacy. We’re proud to see Hannah representing Wright Beamer and supporting the next generation of legal minds.
