This annual event is an opportunity to encourage reflection on the legal principles that sustain American democracy, according to the organizers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This year, LSNF is excited to not only have speakers and presenters who engage the legal community and the public to consider how access to justice and fair legal systems support opportunity, stability, and prosperity, but we will do this through the lens of a 50-year legacy,&#8221; LSNF says. &#8220;For 50 years, LSNF has existed to serve an unmet need in this part of Florida. A feat made manageable through serious pro bono support and partnerships with the legal community. The celebration will highlight not only the role of attorneys, judges, and advocates play in ensuring the promise of justice remains accessible to all, but it\u2019s impact over the years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The evening will feature a reception and program bringing together members of the legal community, civic leaders, and supporters of civil legal aid. During the program, the Tallahassee Bar Association will present the Ervin Equal Justice Award, recognizing individuals who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to advancing equal justice.<\/p>\n<p>LSNF will also recognize Pro Bono Heroes, legal professionals who generously volunteer their time and expertise to support civil legal aid. These honorees will receive LSNF Challenge Coins, a tradition inspired by the military practice of honoring service, commitment, and camaraderie. The coins symbolize the dedication of volunteers who stand alongside legal aid organizations in strengthening communities through justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Tickets and sponsorship opportunities available at <a href=\"https:\/\/lawday.lsnf.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LawDay.LSNF.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0What: Law Day Celebration 2026<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0When: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | Reception at 5:30 p.m. | Program at 6:10 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Where: AC Marriott, 801 S Gadsden Street, Tallahassee 32301<\/p>\n<p>To purchase tickets or become a sponsor, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/lawday.lsnf.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LawDay.LSNF.org<\/a>.\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Legal Services of North Florida to mark 50 years of pro bono impact at Law Day 2026 Legal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-220200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
