Constitution Day and School Outreach Committee

The Barristers Law Week and School Outreach Committee develops and implements projects designed to educate area school‐aged children about the justice system. The committee regularly participates in the Knox County Career Fair to inform area middle and high school students about legal careers. This committee developed and implemented programming for Constitution Day. The program replaced the Junior Judges program, traditionally offered during Law Week. The Constitution Day program was piloted at Christenberry Elementary with the hopes that the program can be offered to other schools throughout Knox County. The committee also handles the nomination for the Law and Liberty Award presented annually by the Barristers.
