EFFINGHAM, Ill. (WCIA) — Students from around Effingham County participated in Law Day last week.

Students were also brought to Accuracy Firearms, an indoor range. There, they fired weapons and spoke with officers from the sheriff's office. After a Law Day program, Elk's Lodge 1016 provided lunch for the students. Then, students went to various county offices to job shadow for the rest of the afternoon.
Law Day has been observed in the United States since 1958.
'We hope that Law Day brought awareness to students about their local government and encourages them to vote and get involved in local elections,' the sheriff's office said in a post on Facebook.
