The theme for this year�s celebration is �Free to Make a Difference.� As Americans, we are free to speak, free to think, free to be�free. We live in a country where our government is governed by our Constitution, and the success of that process is based upon every citizen�s involvement. By voting, going to school, volunteering and working, we all have the ability, opportunity and freedom to truly make a difference.

To help share with students how they can make a difference, the PBA and local bar associations across the commonwealth will sponsor Law Day activities throughout the month of May. The activities will begin on May 2 with a statewide kick-off event and will continue with visits by lawyers and judges to schools statewide.

Pennsylvania�s Law Day 2005 celebration is coordinated by the PBA Law-Related Education Committee and funded by the Pennsylvania Bar Foundation.
