This year, the First Circuit opened its annual contest to all students on Oahu in grades 3 – 8. The contest asked students to interpret the Law Day theme, Free Speech, Free Press, Free Society, and submit an original piece of artwork. Students learned about First Amendment rights and created unique and creative artwork showcasing this year’s theme.
