Why was National Hug-a-Lawyer Day created? National Hug-a-Lawyer Day gives communities an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of their local law firms. Lawyers are often portrayed as stuffy suits, but they often have the biggest hearts for their communities. They put together resource events, lobby for laws to create safer roadways, and seek justice for those who cannot fight alone.
