SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 851
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the Lubbock County Bar Association and Texans across the
state in celebrating May 1, 2011, as Lubbock Law Day; and
WHEREAS, Since 1957, the President of the United States has
by proclamation set aside May 1 of each year as Law Day, a special
observance that provides an opportunity to reflect on the
nation's heritage of equal justice under the law and recognize
that the foundation of our freedom is the body of law that governs
us; and
WHEREAS, The individual freedom and liberty enjoyed by the
citizens of this country are based on the Constitution of the
United States and the Bill of Rights; this body of law guarantees
that such civil liberties as freedom of religion, speech, and the
press and the right to due process of law are not abridged; and
WHEREAS, The Lubbock County Bar Association has played a
significant role in raising awareness of the importance of the
law in the day-to-day lives of the people of the South Plains; it
is truly fitting that a day be set aside to celebrate this vital
part of our civic life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the nation's rich legacy of
freedom under the law and extend best wishes for a memorable
Lubbock Law Day; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special day.
