"The rule of law is the bedrock of American rights and liberties—in times of calm and unrest alike," the organization noted. "The 2021 Law Day theme—Advancing the Rule of Law, Now—reminds all of us that we the people share the responsibility to promote the rule of law, defend liberty, and pursue justice."
The Rule of Law rests upon the idea that no person is so important as to be above the law and conversely no person is so insignificant to be beneath the law. The United States was founded on the principle that voluntary adherence to the Rule of Law expands, rather than limits, the opportunities for freedom.
The United States Congress has statutorily designated May 1 as the annual day for commemoration of Law Day. Law Day is held to celebrate the role of law in our society and to cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal profession.
