Law Day is an annual commemoration held on May 1st to celebrate the rule of law and cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal system.

Every year since 2002, Tempe Municipal Court has recognized Law Day by visiting schools and after school programs in the Tempe and Kyrene school districts to provide interactive presentations on a theme chosen by the American Bar Association. 

Each year the program includes an art contest that allows each student to draw, paint, sketch, or make a collage depicting the Law Day theme. All contest submissions are showcased at the Tempe History Museum and contest winners are invited to a city council meeting to be recognized and have their photo taken with the City of Tempe Mayor and Council.
