Award

The $1,000 check will be sent directly to the applicant’s school. Each year, we publish a feature piece on the winner.

We also appreciate if applicants allow us to publish their essay/creative project, although this is not mandatory.

At the Levinson Law Group, we are specialized in vehicle accidents. Because of this, we have become passionate advocates for victims of car accidents. The tragic effects a devastating accident can have on a victim and their loved ones have changed us, and we are now sponsors of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and other similar organizations, we conduct public studies on vehicle accidents, we offer an undergraduate scholarship to victims of drunk driving, and we offer free cab rides on holidays to prevent drunk driving.

Our practice is dedicated to holding irresponsible drivers accountable and keeping our California community safe, and we encourage law students with similar values and aspirations to apply to our law school scholarship.

Overview

We are asking law school students to write an essay in which they illustrate how they hope to help victims of personal injury and why they chose this area of law.

The student with the most compelling essay, as judged by the Levinson Law Group, will receive $2,000 to put towards their law school tuition.

As a law firm that exclusively handles medical malpractice, our attorneys, paralegals, and staff members have dedicated their careers to helping victims of preventable catastrophic injury. Just as we never let a client’s financial restrictions get in the way of achieving justice, we firmly believe that no student should be deprived of the opportunity to succeed due to a lack of financial resources. We are especially interested in young individuals who plan to become lawyers. We are confident in the youth of America’s ability to change our world for the better through strong character development, community enrichment, and higher education.
