MACOMB, Mich.  L’Anse Creuse Middle School  North, for the seventh year in a row, will be represented in Lansing May 1 for Law Day.  For 2007-2008, the judges (figuratively, as well as literally) have selected eighth-grader Nicole Zamponi of Chesterfield as the number one essay by an eighth-grader in the entire state! Seventh grader Jennifer Toth of Macomb was judged to be the second best essay in the seventh-grade from around the state.
Each year, the State Bar of Michigan and the Michigan Lawyers’ Auxiliary host an essay contest for Law Day, usually May 1st of each year. Over 1500 sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders submit essays on any one of seven topics chosen for this contest. The State Bar of Michigan and the Michigan Lawyers’ Auxiliary invite the top three essayists in the state in each grade, their parents, teacher, and principal to Lansing each Law Day to read their essays at the State’s Law Day Ceremony in the Hall of Justice Building.
