Argentina observes Lawyer's Day on August 29 to honor the birth of Juan Bautista Alberdi, a 19th-century jurist and intellectual. The date was established in 1958 by the Argentine Federation of Bar Associations (FACA) to recognize Alberdi’s influence on the nation’s political and institutional organization, specifically his emphasis on the rule of law.

In Tucumán, provincial officials led commemorative ceremonies to mark the 216th anniversary of Alberdi’s birth. During these events, Governor Osvaldo Jaldo and other authorities placed the ‘Palma de Pueblo y Gobierno de Tucumán’ at the monument containing Alberdi's remains to recognize his role in the construction of the Argentine nation.
