                   HONORING THE OBSERVANCE OF LAW DAY

                                 ______


                           HON. SAM GEJDENSON

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. GEJDENSON. Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, May 1, members of the legal 
profession from throughout eastern Connecticut will join their 
colleagues in national observance of Law Day. Law Day is a special day 
for Americans to celebrate our liberties and to rededicate ourselves to 
the ideals of equality and justice under law. This year's Law Day theme 
is ``Just Solutions,'' which emphasizes the law's fundamental role as a 
facilitator for the fair and reasonable resolution of conflicts. The 
need for improvement in the American justice system is an equally 
important consideration for contemplating Just Solutions.
  Among the Law Day observances in eastern Connecticut on Monday, May 
2, is the award ceremony for winners of the Law Day grade school poster 
contest and the Law Day high school essay contest. I congratulate all 
the young people who took part in these creative competitions, and I 
commend the legal community for its efforts to reach out to youth in 
thoughtful and positive ways that promote respect for law and 
democracy.
