One of the biggest days for a personal injury lawyer in Chicago is the first day of the month of May.
That’s because two of the things that Attorney Howard Ankin is passionate about are celebrated on May 1.
Both National Law Day and International Workers’ Day are celebrated as those around the globe celebrate two major institutions in society.
National Law Day, where America celebrates what the rule of law means in our society. Established in 1958 by President Dwight Eisenhower, it’s a reminder of just how important the legal community is to protect people’s rights.
It’s also International Workers’ Day, which celebrates working people around the world along with labor unions. This was established in 1889, three years after the “Haymarket Affair” in Chicago during a workers’ strike for an eight-hour work day.
These both mean a lot to Howard since he has practiced law for three decades and runs a firm that is the largest workers’ compensation filer in the State of Illinois.
You can listen to Howard talk about the importance of each on this May 1 in the video.
