Student Essay
Each year in recognition of Law Day (May 1), the Utah State Courts invites high school students
to submit an essay to participate in the Judge for a Day program. Students are paired with a
judge to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Judicial Branch and to lean about the role a judge
plays in the courts. The theme for Law Day 2019 is Free Speech, Free Press, Free Society. The following are excerpts from essays that students who participated in this year’s Judge for a Day program submitted.
