Welcome to Connecticut's Laws of Life Essay Program!
The Laws of Life Essay Program is a character-education essay-writing contest that includes students reflecting, writing and discussing their laws of life (ethical values) that help people live productive and meaningful lives. Laws of Life values should lead to positive and life-affirming essays. The essays may describe and analyze the laws of life of individuals in history, literature or in their own life story. Given the many adaptations that are made to teach safely during COVID, Laws of Life essay writing is suggested to help students focus on ethical values to persevere with optimism during these challenging times. Please review the Laws of Life Program Handbook to be aware of essay writing guidelines for student essays. The contest is available to all Connecticut schools and students in grades 5-12. Those outside of Connecticut are invited to use any resource here to begin their own program.
Laws of Life concludes each year with a Celebration Dinner for the writers, their teachers and family. Pictured above are the top ten essay writers that attended the celebration in 2019 and two essayists who read their essays.
