Program Description

The Law Day Program provides an opportunity for Albertans to learn about their legal system and the role the law plays in their country. This increased awareness will make the system more accessible and understood by the general public of Alberta and assist in preserving our fundamental freedoms.

Various activities throughout Alberta courthouses in Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Fort McMurray, Drumheller, Edmonton and Calgary include: demonstration trials covering civil, criminal, family and custody areas; courthouse tours; “Ask a Lawyer” booths and mini-lectures; Citizenship Court ceremonies; public speaking contests for students from both junior and senior high schools; poster contests for elementary students; and mock trials for high school teams.
