Monmouth Vicinage Receives Law Day Activity Award

The Monmouth Vicinage was selected by the American Bar Association to receive an Outstanding Law Day Activity Award for programming efforts related to the 2021 theme, “Advancing the Rule of Law Now.”

The Monmouth Bar Association co-sponsored all Law Day programs and is a co-recipient of the award. Both will be recognized with other winners during an ABA virtual program on March 8. This follows recognition of the Monmouth Vicinage and Monmouth Bar Association as winners of the American Bar Association’s Law Day 2019 and 2020 Outstanding Activity Awards.

From March through June 2021, the Monmouth Vicinage and the Monmouth Bar Association conducted four virtual and one in-person event with programming that reached approximately 800 members of the public, including students at 16 public schools, six private/parochial schools and six colleges/universities.

The selection was made from a competitive national pool of applicants by a committee of leaders from the legal community. In a letter to the vicinage, the ABA National Law Day chair wrote that the vicinage’s Law Day 2021 programs “achieved broad outreach to the community, with a substantive understanding of the Law Day theme. The programs engaged target audience(s) in meaningful conversations to help foster understanding about the rule of law in our society. And, in 2021, programs managed to do all of this in the face of an ongoing national pandemic that forced everyone to plan under extraordinarily uncertain conditions. The ABA truly commends the organizations’ work.”
