Law Day Luncheon 2022

Law Day Luncheon

Monday, May 2, 2022 at 11:30 A.M.
TaxSlayer Center
1201 River Dr.
Moline, IL 61265

 

Please join us for

Law Day 2022 – The Constitution in Times of Change

 

The Constitution is a dynamic document, as it not only outlines a blueprint for government, but also delegates power, articulates rights, and offers mechanisms for change. It is neither perfect, nor exhaustive, as our nation’s history makes clear. Legislation, court rulings, amendments, lawyers, and “we the people” have built upon those original words across generations to attempt to make the “more perfect Union” more real. That effort continues today, as contemporary leaders and everyday citizens raise their voices as loud as ever to fulfill the promise of the Constitution. Defining and refining those words of the Constitution might be our oldest national tradition, and how each of us works—together—toward a more perfect Union.

The 2022 Law Day Luncheon is jointly sponsored by the Bar Associations of Rock Island County, Illinois and Scott County, Iowa and will be held on Monday May 2, 2022 at the TaxSlayer Center located at 1201 River Drive, Moline, Illinois. Check-in begins at 11:30 a.m., with lunch being served at 11:45. Please see attached invitation for further details and RSVP information.

Plan to stay after lunch for a pro bono opportunity answering questions on the Free Legal Answers Platform hosted by PILI! [See attached flyer] or click to register https://pili.org/event/fourteenth-jcpbc-law-day-free-legal-answers-clinic/
