County and affinity bar associations encouraged to apply for grants
New Jersey county and affinity bar associations are encouraged to apply for grants from the New Jersey State Bar Foundation (NJSBF) to fund programs for 2021 Law Day/Court Night, which this year has the timely theme "Advancing the Rule of Law Now."
Law Day is an American Bar Association (ABA) program that is held every May 1 to celebrate the role of law in our society and to cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal profession.
As part of Law Day, the NJSBF's Court Night programs help educate the public about how New Jersey's court system works. Past programs have included essay contests and discussions with judges and lawyers about the law and the trial process.
