On November 9, 2013, Nghe An organized the first implementation of Vietnam Law Day. After 5 years of implementation, Law Day has become a festival for all people to honor the Constitution and the law, contributing to encouraging and motivating officials and people to actively and voluntarily study and understand the law, raising awareness of protecting and complying with the law. Since then, it has created a new qualitative change in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the work of building, implementing and protecting the law.

The Provincial People's Committee assessed that the direction, guidance and implementation of the Law Day response have been given more attention and focus, attracting the attention of a large number of officials and people in the province. The content and form of implementation of activities responding to the Law Day have been innovated, quite diverse and rich.

Thereby, contributing to raising legal awareness, building awareness of compliance and law observance in the whole society. The spirit of self-study and understanding of the law among the people is increasingly enhanced.

However, many limitations were also pointed out such as: Some units and localities have not paid due attention to leadership, direction and implementation; activities responding to Law Day in some places are still formal, not in-depth, lacking focus and key points, leading to the effects and spread of activities responding to Law Day being not high, not creating a fundamental change in awareness of compliance with and observance of the law and the movement of the whole people actively and proactively studying and learning the law.

Speaking at the conference, comrade Le Ngoc Hoa - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that in the coming time, in order for the Law Day to be organized in a unified, synchronous and effective manner, sectors, organizations and localities need to innovate and diversify the content and forms of implementation, avoiding ostentation and formality so that this truly becomes a regular, daily task for each person.

In addition, mobilize all social resources to participate in the dissemination of legal education, promote initiatives in implementing, building and developing effective, practical and economical response models.

On this occasion, comrade Le Ngoc Hoa, on behalf of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, awarded Certificates of Merit to 5 collectives and 5 individuals with achievements in organizing and implementing Vietnam Law Day.
