Save the Date!  LAW DAY 2025 will be celebrated on Friday, May 16, 2025 at 9:30 AM in Courtroom 1A at the 400 Grand Street Superior Court.  The theme for this year is “The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One.”

The Constitution enshrines our collective responsibility to one another, and the 2025 Law Day theme urges us to take pride in a Constitution that bridges our differences to bring us together as a united nation. Our civic lives tie us together as one “We,” whether through legislative efforts that serve the common good, through military service, or by working together, every day, to fulfill the promise of E pluribus unum, or “Out of many, one.” Your attendance and participation are essential to making this year’s Law Day a great success.

The following awards will be presented:

Liberty Bell Award: This award will be presented to a local individual who has demonstrated a willingness to serve his or her community.  The individual must be someone who is not an attorney or member of the courthouse staff.  Other than the foregoing restrictions, any individual who has benefited the Greater Waterbury Area in a noteworthy manner would be a fine nominee.

Courthouse Personnel Award: This award will be presented to any member of any Greater Waterbury Area courthouse who has demonstrated services above and beyond his or her duty.  Personnel at any of the courthouses are eligible and nominations may be made by members of the judiciary, fellow personnel and members of the bar.

Waterbury Young Lawyers Award: This award will be presented to a local attorney who has demonstrated a willingness to serve his or her community and who perpetuates a positive image of our profession.  The individual need not be a “young lawyer.”
