If the Founding Fathers had Instagram, they’d be crowdfunding civics education in 2026. The Rule of Law doesn’t defend itself. It gets defended by lawyers like you – and we need your help to support the Rule of Law at its roots.  

NOBA and NOBF’s “May 2026 Law Day:  Rule of Law” gives students something powerful.  A real understanding of the Constitution, exposure to judges, courts, and lawyers, prizes that reward thoughtful civic engagement, and of course they need lunch. This is not just a program. It’s an investment in informed citizens. We are asking for donations to support student lunches, civics materials, and essay awards for May 2026 Law Day.
