Renewing the lawyers’ pledge to the Constitution and the rule of law.
A Nationwide Stand for the Constitution
On Law Day—May 1, 2025—over 10,000 lawyers from more than 50 cities took part in a powerful, grassroots effort to reaffirm their oath to defend the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.
With courthouse steps as stages, courtroom lobbies as gathering grounds, and social media as a megaphone, the legal profession reminded the nation what it looks like to lead with principle, not politics.
And this was just the beginning.
