National Law Day of Action: A Nationwide Stand for the Rule of Law

Join your fellow Bar Association Members in a Nationwide Stand for the Rule of Law.  

Our Justice System Under Threat: 

The principles of judicial independence and the independence of the legal profession – cornerstones of American democracy – are facing unprecedented challenges across the country. Attacks on judges for unpopular rulings, political pressure on legal professionals, and a growing distrust of the legal system threaten the very foundation of fairness and equal justice.

Retake the Oath: 

We invite you to join us at this event and retake your Attorney's Oath. We each took this pledge upon admission to the bar. The oath is the cornerstone of our profession, and it represents our promise to support the Constitution of the United States. It encompasses a duty to defend the Constitution, protect constitutional rights, ensure due process, and oppose laws or actions that undermine it. By retaking the oath, you reiterate your role as a guardian of the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law.
