Join Local Lawyers as they Retake their Oath to Defend the Constitution and host a non-partisan rally with featured speakers in support of the Rule of Law and Judicial Independence.
The oath is the cornerstone of the legal profession, and it represents the promise to support the Constitution of the United States. It encompasses a duty to defend the Constitution, protect constitutional rights, ensure due process, and oppose laws or actions that undermine it. By retaking the oath, local attorneys will be reiterating their role as a guardian of the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law.
Asheville will join cities across the Country on Law Day May 1st
standing for the Rule of Law through the nonprofit Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG). For a full listing of participating cities, see https://lawdayofaction.org/
Speakers will include co-organizers PJ Roth and Jen 'Niki' Foster, as well as Tod Leaven and Pisgah Legal Services Executive Director Jackie Kiger.
