This year's theme considers how the law is adapting to new conditions in the 21st century. 

Our world in the 21st century is changing.  Economic markets are becoming global, transactions require cultural adaptation and understanding, populations are more mobile, and communications technologies, such as the Internet, bridge distances and time zones to form new communities around the world.  The law, too, is changing.  In a global era, matters such as human rights, criminal justice, intellectual property, business transactions, dispute resolution, human migration, and environmental regulation become not just issues within and between nations but concerns we all share.  Law Day 2010 provides us with an opportunity to understand and appreciate the emerging challenges and enduring traditions of law in the 21st century.
