Law Day is an annual commemoration held on May 1st to celebrate the rule of law and cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal system. The 2026 Law Day theme is “The Rule of Law and the American Dream.” The rule of law—the idea that no person is above the law—is what ensures the rights of the people to live their lives as freely as possible and to pursue their dreams.

In celebration of Law Day 2026, the NOBA YLS invites students in the Greater New Orleans Area to participate in our Law Day Art Contest (Grades K-5) and Law Day Essay Contest (Grades 6-8). Submissions for both contests are due by May 15, 2026.
