The fundamental right of “justice for all” is at risk for millions of Americans. As the need for civil legal aid increases at a rate that greatly surpasses the resources available, access to free legal assistance is no longer a right but a privilege for only those who can afford legal representation.

Together, we can work to improve access to justice for all Northeastern Minnesotans.

Demonstrate your support for equal access to justice and join us for a family-friendly Law Day 5K run/walk!

Law Day 5K will support the critical work of the team at Legal Aid Service of Northeastern Minnesota (LASNEM).

LASNEM provides free civil legal services to thousands of low-income people who cannot otherwise afford it. LASNEM serves eleven counties (Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Cook, Crow Wing, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, Pine, and St. Louis) in legal matters that impact people's security, safety, stability, and basic needs.

The 5K will begin and end at the Duluth East High School parking lot in Duluth, MN on Sunday, April 30, 2023, with a 9:00 a.m. start time. The course follows the Lakewalk and returns to Duluth East for post-race gathering, refreshments, and tours of LASNEM's Justice Bus! Registration for adults and youth includes a Law Day 5K t-shirt and medal. Children 11 years old and under are free and does not include a t-shirt. T-shirts are available for purchase here. 

Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers! 

Suit up for justice!  Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place "best dressed."
