Weimer, Justices Jefferson Hughes, William J. Crain, Jay B. McCallum, Piper D. Griffin, John Michael Guidry, and Cade R. Cole issued <a href="https://www.lasc.org/community_outreach/law_day/img/2025/2025Resolution.pdf" target="_blank">a resolution</a> dedicating the entire month of May as Law Month to encourage judicial outreach efforts in schools aimed at supporting civic education. The resolution encourages judges throughout Louisiana to engage with schools, offering students the opportunity to learn about the law, the role of a judge, and the court system.</p><p>&ldquo;The Constitution enshrines our collective responsibility to one another, and the 2025 Law Day theme urges us to take pride in a Constitution that bridges our differences to bring us together as a united nation,&rdquo; said Chief Justice John L. Weimer. &ldquo;Our civic lives tie us together as one &lsquo;We,&rsquo; whether through legislative efforts that serve the common good, through military service, or by working together, every day, to fulfill the promise of <em>E pluribus unum</em>, or &ldquo;Out of many, one.&rdquo; </p><p>This year's theme for <strong><a href="https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/law-day/" target="_blank">Law Day 2025</a> is &ldquo;The Constitution's Promise: Out of Many, One.&rdquo;</strong> This theme will be central to many Law Day activities. The resolution also emphasizes that members of the judiciary and the legal community nationwide traditionally commemorate this occasion by initiating and participating in educational programs designed to help elementary, middle, and high school students understand the legal system. <strong><a href="https://www.lasc.org/Education?p=Judges_in_the_Classroom">The Judges in the Classroom/Students in the Courtroom</a></strong> outreach initiative reflects these ongoing efforts in May and throughout the year by providing resources for judges to use during their visit.</p><p>This strong emphasis on engaging with students in May is to ensure that judges connect with them before the end of the school year. This outreach will assist educators in providing civic education as the school year concludes and will serve as a reminder for planning visits for the upcoming year. The goal is for judges to have positive interactions with students while conveying important information about the law and the judicial process. Additionally, it offers judges a unique opportunity to connect with the communities they serve.</p><p>The Judges in the Classroom/Students in the Courtroom Initiative is a civic education partnership with The Louisiana Center for Law and Civic Education, The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), the Louisiana Commission on Civic Education and the Judges in the Classroom/Students in the Courtroom Task Force.</p><p><em><strong>Louisiana Supreme Court Mission:</strong> To preserve the integrity of the judiciary, to build and maintain public trust, to provide effective and efficient administration of justice in the Supreme Court, to ensure proper administration and performance of all courts under Supreme Court authority, and to ensure the highest professional conduct, integrity, and competence of the bench and bar.</em></p><p><strong>For more information visit <a href="/">lasc.org</a> or contact Louisiana Supreme Court Public Information Specialist/Coordinator Trina S.
