As we begin the second decade of the twenty-first century, the law is
changing dramatically as it seeks to shape and adapt to new conditions.
Economic markets are becoming global, transactions require cultural
adaptation and understanding, populations are more mobile, and
communication technologies such as the Internet bridge distances and
time zones to form new communities around the world. Law Day 2010
provides us with an opportunity to understand and appreciate the
emerging challenges and enduring traditions of law in the 21st century.

We live in a world more interconnected than ever before.
People have greater mobility, real and virtual. There is a need for
greater understanding and acceptance of cultural differences. At the
same time, together we face the challenges of balancing the protection
of our natural resources and the environment with need to grow national
economies.
We hope this series educates you on the legal
community’s role establishing our society and in meeting the
challenges before us as we enter another decade of the 21st century.
This series is intended to prompt discussion in the classroom and give a
deeper understanding of the law and legal systems - local, national and
international.
This series was created by the NY News Publishers
Association Newspaper In
Education Program, funded by the Law, Youth and Citizenship
Program of the New York State Bar
Association with additional support from Albany Law
School.
