Law for the Public

Conveying information about the law and legal resources to the public

The Law for the Public Committee conveys information about the law to the public; improves the availability and accessibility of legal information and resources; provides and promotes educational opportunities for members of the public interested in the law; and in carrying out these functions, generates goodwill toward the Association and the legal profession.

Current Programs

Through The "Your Life, Your Rights" program, the Committee partners with local high schools to bring teams of volunteer lawyers and judges into classrooms to help educate high school students about their legal rights and civic responsibilities. 

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the Chair of the Law for the Public Committee, Terry Polich, at tpolich@lawtoncates.com.
