Law Day 2026: Lawyers in the Classroom

In this episode of the Washington Courts Report, host Patric Haerle speaks with Marie Docter, Attorney at Briggs and Briggs and President of the Thurston County Bar Association, about the Lawyers in the Classroom program. On Law Day on May 1, the Washington State Bar Association partnered with the Administrative Office of the Courts and the Washington Supreme Court to launch a statewide classroom pledge. The initiative encourages lawyers across Washington to teach a civics lesson on or around Constitution Day to help strengthen civic understanding and bridge divides. Marie shares her experiences participating in the program, including how it benefits students and practical advice for attorneys preparing to visit a classroom. A great listen for anyone interested in civics education, public service, or supporting Washington’s future learners.
