Welcome students and others who are trying to better their lives. Below you can see Ehline Law Firm’s latest scholarship offering.

Please read the rules carefully. You can win! We are presently offering three yearly scholarships. Because I became a lawyer in the Law Office Study Program, went to law school, and got my J.D., I love helping starving students. Also, I am a big fan of getting a good education in and out of traditional school settings.

The Scholarships

The positive benefits of continuing with law school far exceed the pitfalls and other obstacles to ultimate success on your educational journey as a student, intern, or extern.

But there are times when excellent students deserve recognition to show them that merit deserves credit. Thus, our serious injury law firm has decided to help students go the extra mile and has established one $500 law school scholarship and one paralegal studies $750 scholarship to show our support. We also offer one military veteran’s scholarship for $1,000.00.

About Paralegal Students

All registrants shall be presently registered in an accredited paralegal school, or be pursuing a grandfathered paralegal program offered under the current laws of their jurisdiction and venue.

This offering is not for law students. But instead, this particular offer applies to people working in a law office or attending an accredited, or state recognized paralegal program or learning institution. There is no requirement that applicants have a GED or diploma.

People in schools shall show, in addition to the above prerequisites, that they presently maintain a minimum 3.0-grade point average (“GPA”), and if not in a school, shall provide proof from their teacher or instructor, in the form of a letter, that the student is an exemplary student.

It should include examples of at least one recent case of capping or running, and ways lawyers can prevent the image of “ambulance chaser.”

These two scholarships are intended to get used for supplemental income to subsidize your legal education positively.

For example, what life lessons did you obtain from your experience in boot camp, MOS schools, etc? Our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys want to read about your story.

And what did you learn from these challenges? How did these experiences help you prepare for making the world a safer place? Why did you choose serving first over some other profession? Were you wounded in combat, were you an MP? So tell us everything pertinent to your facts and opinions.
