The U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) Creech Legal Office hosted its first ever “Law Day” event with attorneys from the Clark County Bar Association (CCBA) on May 4, 2023. The theme for the event was “Cornerstones of Democracy: Civics, Civility, and Collaboration.” Law Day took place in the Owl’s Nest at the Creech Air Force Base in southern Nevada. Attendees were invited to bring Star Wars paraphernalia as the décor was “May the 4th Be With You.”
Activities were planned throughout the day with presentations made by Nevada lawyers, community partners, and law enforcement agencies. A morning session with continuing legal education programs for USAF legal personnel took place in the Creech legal office. Topics covered were related to family law and landlord tenant matters relevant to Nevada.
