K-8, Middle
The City of Sacramento City Attorney’s Office (CAO) is excited to invite 7th and 8th grade students to participate in the LAW DAY 2025 Contest!
What is Law Day?
Established in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and officially recognized by Congress in 1961, Law Day is celebrated every May 1st to honor the principles of government under law. This year, we encourage students to explore how the Constitution unites us as a nation.
