Assembly Resolution No. 1246

BY: M. of A. Lavine

 COMMEMORATING May 1, 2026, as Law Day in the State
 of New York

 WHEREAS, The rule of law is the foundation of American rights and
liberties, and it plays a vital role in preserving freedom, justice, and
equality; and

 WHEREAS, Since its establishment in 1958 by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, Law Day has been observed annually on May 1st to celebrate
the importance of the legal system and to enhance the public's
understanding of the law and its role in society; and

 WHEREAS, Law Day provides an opportunity for Americans to reflect on
the fundamental principles of liberty, justice, and equality under the
law; to recognize the work of lawyers, judges, and others in the legal
profession who strive to uphold these ideals; and

 WHEREAS, Legal organizations, schools, civic groups, and government
institutions throughout New York State observe Law Day with educational
programs, ceremonies, and events to promote public understanding of the
law and the legal process; and

 WHEREAS, The New York State Legislature recognizes the importance of
Law Day as an occasion to reaffirm our shared commitment to justice and
the constitutional principles that govern our democratic system; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate May 1, 2026, as Law Day in the State of New York, and to
encourage all New Yorkers to reflect on the enduring importance of the
rule of law in maintaining our democratic institutions and protecting
individual rights.
