This year’s activities will include tours of the Supreme Court, information booths set up by various state agencies and legal organizations, and various educational and entertainment presentations
Also as part of this year’s festivities, Chief Justice Elliott E. Maynard encourages West Virginia’s students to participate in a statewide photograph competition. Photographs should depict this year’s theme and may be from any type of camera - 35 mm, Polaroid or digital (no digital files, please).
The West Virginia Supreme Court justices will select the winning photographs based on expressiveness and originality, creativity, quality of composition, and technical components.
The contest is open to all students attending public and private schools and all entries should be postmarked no later than March 31, 2004. The winners will be announced on Law Day, April 30, at the State Capitol.
Contestants should submit their photograph with a completed form, along with any necessary release forms to: Images of Freedom Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia Building 1, Room E-100 1900 Kanawha Boulevard, East Charleston, WV 25305
