High Court Will Honor Students on Law Day

West Virginia Supreme Court justices are taking part in Law Day activities next week. The justices will participate in a virtual awards ceremony Monday for the state bar’s Women in the Profession Committee’s Law Day student contests, which were open to students across the state and involved essay-writing, poetry, songwriting and performance, poster creation and social media marketing. After the awards are presented, justices will give a virtual tour of the Supreme Court chamber. President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded Law Day in 1958 to celebrate the role of law in the U.S. and promote understanding of the profession.
