Law Day: Commemorating the Constitution at our County Courthouses
2025-05-01 12:00 - 15:00
On May 1st—Law Day—lawyers across Colorado are coming together for a powerful, united act: reading the United States Constitution (and historical statements about it) aloud on the steps of local courthouses. At a time when the rule of law faces daily challenges, this event aims to demonstrate collective support for the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

Location: In Denver, participants will gather in front of the City and County Building, 1437 Bannock Street, on the east side steps, at noon.

Attorneys, judges, and community members are invited to join in support of the core American principles of the Rule of Law, judicial independence, the protection of attorneys and law firms from unlawful attacks, due process of law, and freedom of speech and association.

What You Can Do:

Organize a short gathering outside your county courthouse at noon on May 1 st, or simply gather a few colleagues and go to the courthouse steps. (Check with the Chief Judge, Presiding Judge or Court Administrator for the District or County Court in your County.)

Read the Constitution aloud (individually, as a group, or round-robin style).

Invite colleagues, friends, and members of the public to join.

Share photos and reflections on social media using #LawDayCO.

Forward this email to your professional and personal networks—especially to lawyers and legal professionals in counties other than your own across Colorado.

To obtain a free copy of the Constitution, go to https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/programs/constitution_day/constitution-text/

If you plan to participate or would like help organizing in your county, please email Colorado Law Day at COLawday@gmail.com. They will do their best to provide updates via email and on their website www.COLawday.com.
