While the federal courthouses and schools are closed in the Southern District of Florida, lawyers and judges are not slowing down when it comes to teaching students.

On May 19,  the federal court and leaders from the South Florida chapter of the Federal Bar Association brought Law Day to 53 students and faculty at Hialeah Gardens Senior High School's Law Academy. 

Law Day is observed every year across the nation to celebrate the role of law in our society and to cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal profession. On Feb. 3, 1958, President Dwight Eisenhower established Law Day by proclamation, and in 1961, May 1 was designated by joint resolution of Congress as the official date for celebrating Law Day.
