Washington State Law Library

Constitution Day is only nine weeks away! We’re looking for skilled legal professionals (like you!) to volunteer their time and knowledge to teach a civics lesson in a K-12 classroom on or around Sept. 17. Sign up here today! https://zurl.co/07cEX

Be on the lookout for more information from Executive Director Terra Nevitt in the next issue of Bar News magazine.

After you take the pledge download your official "I Pledged" graphic (https://zurl.co/olXR4) to share on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook. Want some social copy? We've gone ahead and drafted some content (https://zurl.co/0y9j4) for you to share! Copy and paste or use them as a jumping-off point and write in your own voice.
