Lilinoe Wong, a fifth grader at St. Andrew’s Schools – The Priory, and Hailey Tellyer, a seventh grader at ʻEwa Makai Middle School, took the top prizes in this year’s First Circuit Law Day Art Contest.

The First Circuit Court celebrated Law Day 2025 by inviting all Oʻahu students in grades three to eight to showcase their creativity and talent with artistic interpretations of the Law Day theme: The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One.

To prepare for the contest, students explored how the United States Constitution has historically served as a foundation for unity and justice, particularly during pivotal moments in American history such as the Civil Rights Movement, Civil War and Reconstruction, and the Founding of the United States. Through this exploration, students gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Constitution’s role in shaping a unified nation.

First Circuit judges graded entries based on originality, creativity, and visual impact.

Of note, this year’s submissions yielded two third place winners in the Sixth to Eight Grade category.

First, second, and third place winners each received a Law Day certificate, gift card, and Law Day medal. Their artwork will also be displayed in one of Oʻahu’s courthouses during the next year.
