The contest is intended to help students and the public understand how the law protects our American freedoms. Judges, court personnel, attorneys, and other dignitaries will honor the prize winners, their parents, and teachers at a ceremony to be held at the U.S. Courthouse in Beaumont on Thursday, April 21, 2016. All winning and honorable mention entries will be framed and displayed for twelve months at the Courthouse. For more Information visit our Law Day Art Contest page.
