Let's cheer the 2021 Law Week Poster & Video Contest Winners!
Every year, the SDCBA commemorates Law Week with a student poster and video contest. K-12 students submit their entries expressing the Law Week theme of the year. 2021's theme is "Advancing the Rule of Law Now."
We'll recognize this year's first, second, and third place contest winners, as chosen by a committee of attorneys based on originality, creativity, and impact. These winners will also receive cash prizes for their work. Please join us in celebrating our students!
