Join us for the 2026 Annual Civic Education Celebration—an evening to celebrate the power of legal education through the CBA Edward J. Lewis II Lawyers in the Classroom (LIC) program.

Why Attend? Why Sponsor?
Every investment plants a seed in the next generation of civically engaged citizens one elementary student at a time. With nearly 300 volunteer lawyers and nearly 60 schools, LIC reaches thousands of students each year—introducing them to justice, equality, and liberty. Your support trains volunteers, strengthens classrooms, and grows the Edward J. Lewis II Constitutional Law Curriculum.

As one student shared: “For the first time, I feel like I understand what the Constitution means to me and my rights, and how to stand up for them.”

That’s the power of our profession—and the impact of your support.
