YOUTH VIDEOS TO PREVIEW
-Depict How Law Impacts Life of Young People-
Youth
Videos depicting How the Law Impacts the Life of Young People will
be previewed at the Maryland State Bar Association’s (MSBA)
Law Day celebration on May 13 at the Sheppard Pratt Conference Center.
The ten videos hail from MSBA’s first “Law in Your
Daily Life” video contest which challenged Maryland’s
youth, and the general public, to creatively capture how the law
impacts their daily life on a three minute video and submit it to
MSBA for cash prizes.
The preview of the
videos is one of the highlights of MSBA’s Law Day Conference, an all day
gathering of 170 high school students, teachers and lawyers from across the state,
which will explore the law’s impact on today’s young people, focusing
on everything from MySpace, Face Book, YouTube and one’s online reputation to
the prosecution and prevention of internet crime. Chief Judge Robert M.
Bell, Court of Appeals of Maryland, will offer keynote remarks.
The event will be held at the Sheppard Pratt Conference Center in Towson, 9 AM to 3 PM. The videos, seven from the under 18 year-old category and three from the 18+ category, will be aired, and the winners announced, at 2 PM, after the audience selects its own “People’s Choice” winner.
