The year 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as the 50th anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech. This year’s Law Day theme, “Realizing the Dream: Equality for All,” recognizes the inextricable link between freedom and equality, the importance of living up to the promise of equality under the law enshrined in our nation’s founding documents, and the challenges that remain in realizing that ideal.
We at NBI are excited to to do our small part in ensuring equal legal representation for all by offering a free CLE course on fighting bias and discrimination!
“Elimination of Bias in the Legal Practice“ is a one-hour on-demand program that will help you:
- Understand how bias affects the behavior of all people involved in the legal process
- Clarify laws prohibiting bias and how they’re applied in practice

About Law Day
Law Day is an annual event, which was originally conceived in 1957 when American Bar Association President Charles Rhynes envisioned a special national day to mark our commitment to the rule of law. The following year, President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the first Law Day. Law Day was made official in 1961 when Congress issued a joint resolution designating May 1 as the official date for celebrating Law Day.
