Law Day has Oklahoma roots.
The idea was born in Wewoka, where attorney Hicks Epton launched a public education program in 1951 called "Know Your Liberties, Know Your Courts Week" to help Americans better understand their legal rights. The program spread across the country, earned national recognition, and ultimately inspired President Eisenhower to formally establish Law Day in 1958.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Ask A Lawyer, one of the longest-running public service traditions to grow from that original vision. Law Day 2026 is Friday, May 1.
