LAW DAY 2010
6/2/2010
The Young Lawyers' Division (YLD) of the Cumberland County Bar Association (CCBA)
recognized Law Day 2010 throughout May with numerous activities designed to engage the local
community in conversations about the law. Activities included outreach to schools, local
government and the community. Law Day is an annual event recognized by the ABA, PBA and
local bar associations.
This year, the Committee reached out to all of the County’s public
and private high schools to schedule presentations entitled, “The
Legal Consequences of New Technologies.” The Committee
authored the curriculum, which focused on the legal and non-legal
impact of activities such as “sexting,” use of social networking
websites and cyber bullying. The curriculum was presented to
hundreds of students in Cumberland County at Boiling Springs High
School, Carlisle High School, Cedar Cliff High School,
Shippensburg High School and Trinity High School. Over twenty
(20) members of the CCBA volunteered to lead the presentations at
the high schools in May, following an orientation session organized
by the Committee in April. The Committee received several positive
remarks from educators at the high schools (see comment below).
The Committee also organized a community showing of the legal
classic, Inherit the Wind, at the Carlisle Theatre on May 18, 2010.
The Cumberland County Bar Foundation graciously sponsored the
movie so that the community could attend free of charge. Lastly, the
Committee received a proclamation from the Cumberland County
Commissioners declaring May 1, 2010 to be Law Day in
Cumberland County.
NOTE OF APPRECIATION:
"I just wanted to thank you for
providing us with speakers on
Law Day. It went very well. The
one-day scenarios that were
handed out spurred considerable
discussion among my students.
It served to reinforce many things
we have been talking about in
class this year, and it was great
having “real live lawyers”
talking about the law! ? I
could tell my kids enjoyed the
class, and we’ll have lots to talk
about tomorrow. So thanks
again for offering this great
enhancement to my regular
lesson."
Wayne Winters,
Carlisle Senior High School
