At Georgia State University College of Law, Law Day is celebrated as a week-long event during the first full week of April. All SBA-funded student organizations will be hosting events throughout the week, providing education, entertainment, and food to our student body.
In 1958 President Dwight Eisenhower established Law Day as "a day of national dedication to the principle of government under law." Commemorated annually since that date, Law Day programs are conducted throughout the country by bar associations, courts, schools, and civic groups.
