DO YOU KNOW OF A STUDENT WHO NEEDS $500 TO $1,000?
The annual Senior Division of the S.C. Bar Association’s Law Day Essay Contest provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about our legal system, justice, get creative, and win money simply by writing an essay of 1,000 words or less.
The Law Day 2021 theme is “Advancing the Rule of Law NOW”. The rule of law is a set of principles, or ideals, for ensuring an orderly and just society. Many countries throughout the world strive to uphold the rule of law where no one is above the law, everyone is treated equally under the law, everyone is held accountable to the same laws, there are clear and fair processes for enforcing laws, there is an independent judiciary, and human rights are guaranteed for all.
Eligibility: The Law Day Essay Contest is open to all students attending a public or private high school, or being home schooled, within South Carolina who are in grades 9-12.
Entry Deadline: June 4, 2021, by noon.
