Overview
For 2025, the Reeves Law Group is awarding a $2,500 scholarship to a deserving law student who authors a winning essay in our Seventh Annual Scholarship Essay Contest.
Details
As a Los Angeles Personal Injury Law firm, The Reeves Law Group specializes in representing victims of accidents and other tragic circumstances. We feel fortunate to be advocates for those who have no voice in our complex justice system. Helping people in need by providing them with our resources is one of our greatest rewards.
America has a superb justice system, but it could use more exceptional individuals with a passion for improving the conditions of the less fortunate through the legal system. For our Seventh Annual Scholarship Contest, we are again pleased to support a future lawyer who demonstrates through past, current, and expected future deeds a genuine commitment to serve the less fortunate.
If you want to be a participant in our contest, tell us about such deeds. We would like to know about contributions you may have made or are currently making to help, for example, a non-profit institution, a specific group, your local community, or the public at large. Tell us also how you intend to use your legal training to advance those goals.
