Program Summary: Law Day 2025 celebrates the Constitution’s promise that out of many we are one, e pluribus unum. As we head towards our nation’s 250th anniversary, this conversation will focus on how the 13 colonies joined together as one nation – leading to our current-day understanding of our constitutional republic. This will help to provide easy lesson points that folks can take into the community to share in celebration of Law Day 2025.
