Abstract: We will show optimal regularity for minimizers of the Signorini problem for the Lame system. In particular if $u=(u^1,u^2,u^3)in{W}^{1,2}(B_1^{+}:R^3)$ minimizes ${\displaystyle }$ J(u)=int_{B_1^+}|

Then $uin{C}^{1,1/2}(B_{1/2}^{+})$. Moreover the free boundary, given by ${\displaystyle }$ Gamma_u=partial {x;;u^3(x)=0,; x_3=0}cap B_{1}, ${\displaystyle }$ will be a $C^{1,alpha}$ graph close to points where $u$ is not degenerate. Similar results have been know before for scalar partial differential equations (see for instance cite{AC} and cite{ACS}). The novelty of this approach is that it does not rely on maximum principle methods and is therefore applicable to systems of equations.
