Bellingham Municipal Court to host Law Day events in April and May

The Bellingham Municipal Court is gearing up to celebrate Law Day with a series of engaging events from April 22 to May 5. Designed to educate the community, these activities will showcase court proceedings, allowing the public to witness the legal process firsthand.
