(c) Proclamation. – The President is requested to issue a proclamation –
(1) calling on all public officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Law Day, U.S.A.; and
(2) inviting the people of the United States to observe Law Day, U.S.A., with appropriate ceremonies and in other appropriate ways, through public entities and private organizations and in schools and other suitable places.
Each year the American Bar Association (ABA) creates a theme for Law Day. In 2009, the ABA’s theme was "A Legacy of Liberty – Celebrating Lincoln’s Bicentennial." The ABA’s 2010 Law Day theme is titled: 21st Century: Enduring Traditions, Emerging Challenges.
The world continues to become more global all the time. Communication technologies, economic markets, the Internet, and other developments constantly reshape how societies operate. With these developments come legal responsibilities to adapt to the every changing world. Citizens of countries must learn not only their legal systems, but also must become knowledgeable about other legal systems to adequately interact in our global world.
So, please take some time on this day – Law Day – to reflect on the importance of the law in the development of our world and all the areas that the law affects, including (to name a few): business transactions, human rights, criminal justice, environmental concerns, immigration between countries, new inventions, dispute resolution, energy development, etc. These issues are no longer just local issues – they are becoming global issues that influence the development of the human race.
