Incarnate Word Academy junior Jessica Bang and eighth grader Alison Duncan are two of the 18 students from across the state to win awards in the 2016 Law Day contest.
 
Jessica earned first place in the photography contest and third place in the poster contest in the ninth to 12th grade division. Alison earned second place in the poster contest in the sixth to eighth grade division.
 
The State Bar of Texas and Texas Young Lawyers Association recently presented the awards to the students who were honored at the local level by bar associations from across Texas before advancing to the state-wide competition.
 
The Law Day contest is an annual competition that invites students to submit essays, photographs, and posters that celebrate the rule of law. This year, the contest’s theme was “Miranda: More Than Words” in recognition of the 50 ^th anniversary of Miranda vs. Arizona, a U.S. Supreme Court case.
