Governor Mills today issued a proclamation declaring May 1, 2025 as "Law Day" throughout the State of Maine. Law Day has been celebrated annually on May 1 since its 1958 designation [ [link removed] ] by President Eisenhower.

"In his Proclamation designating the first Law Day in 1958, President Eisenhower declared that America's protection of equal rights under the law 'distinguishes our governmental system from the type of government that rules by might alone'," *said Governor Janet Mills*. "On Law Day, and every day, I urge all Maine people to join with me in standing up to protect the rule of law."
