SeaTac’s Municipal Court is holding a series of public events June 4-8 to commemorate National Law Week.

“We are very excited to celebrate Law Week with the citizens of SeaTac,” Municipal Court Judge Elizabeth Cordi-Bejarano declared. “We have a number of community events and we are especially looking forward to working with the teachers and students at Tyee to increase awareness regarding constitutional rights, the services offered by the courts of our state, and career opportunities related to the legal profession.”

In 1958 President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the first Law Day. Congress, in 1961, issued a joint resolution designating May 1st as the official date for celebrating Law Day. While May 1st is the official date for Law Day, many organizations celebrate Law Day, Law Week, or even Law Month.
