The online WSJ law blog reminds us that today is Law Day.
As the law blog posts notes, Law Day was created in 1958 (presumably to distract the populace from labor agitators celebrating May Day, parading around the maypole and drinking who knows what).
Law Day was indeed a bigger deal in the 1960's. Bank trust departments ran Law Day ads, seeking to curry favor with lawyers from whom they hoped to receive referrals.
In time, alas, Law Day turned into to Lawyer's Day. As a comment on the law blog notes, now it's an occasion for the Practicing Law Institute to hold a book sale.
