What exactly is Law Day?
Law Day is an annual, national celebration that is aimed at educating the public about its rights and responsibilities as Americans. While it is celebrated nationally, its roots are right here in Oklahoma. Wewoka attorney Hicks Epton, who served as OBA president in 1953, originally brought forward a plan to celebrate the law and how it affects our lives. President Dwight D. Eisenhower established Law Day nationally by proclamation in 1958; in 1961, Congress set aside May 1 as a day for all Americans to celebrate their freedom and the ideals of equality and justice under the law.
