The annual Law Day Essay Contest is sponsored by the Senior Division of the South Carolina Bar Association. The 2022 essay contest was the twelfth year that the Senior Division has sponsored the contest. The purpose of the contest is to promote a better understanding of the Rule of Law and Civic Responsibility in the South Carolina’s youth. The contest is opened to all 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students in South Carolina. In 2021, the contest was named in honor of Circuit Judge J. Mark Hayes, II, in recognition of his work with the contest since its inception.
The 2022 American Bar Association Law Day Theme was “Towards a More Perfect Union: The Constitution in Times of Change”. As part of the Law Day essay contest, each student was asked to write a 1000 words or less essay on the topic: “Discuss the role of the Constitution in achieving the goal or outcome of producing a “more perfect union” as expressed in the Preamble.”
Congratulations to the following LHS students for their recognition in this contest:
