The Essay: 400-700 Words Total

In the essay, the first 100-200 words should identify your name, education, employment, and military background, if any. Identify hobbies or other interests if you wish to do so. This is the basic setup. Tell us why you decided to participate in the Ehline Law Paralegal Scholarship that would interest our panel of reviewers.

The essay Must Also Demonstrate The Applicant’s Public Good Will as a Legal Professional.

Yes. Exactly. What Ehline is trying to do, is to identify candidates who are genuinely seeking to make a positive impact on the overall public perception of legal professionals. Besides making money, in what way will the candidate attempt to make a positive impact on achieving those ends? For example, if the candidate was allowed to change our legal or court system, what would they do, and why? This can be very broad.

• Examples include: “Would the candidate seek to reduce jury awards under proposed tort reform? Would the candidate try to reverse such laws?” “Would the candidate try to abolish the jury system in civil or criminal cases?” For example, would they elect to appoint professional jurors?

Of course, it can be any similar topic, such as the candidate’s plans to be a lobbyist, etc. The essay should also include the reasons that ultimately led the candidate to become a legal professional. Also, the applicant should include an example of a recently disbarred attorney.

Plus, it should discuss things you believe lawyers can do to avoid getting disbarred for ethics violations. Would you have given the lawyer a second chance based on the facts? Or would you have made the suspension period more significant, less, or permanent?
