D'Amico & Pettinicchi Truth Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by D'Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC

As educators and advocates at D’Amico & Pettinicchi, we understand the challenges that come with seeking and discerning the truth. In the realm of personal injury and other legal matters, uncovering the truth is crucial. It can mean the difference between justice being served or a culpable party evading responsibility. This principle holds true not only in the legal world but also in our everyday lives, where truth often seems to be under attack.

With the aim of emphasizing the significance of truth and honesty in both legal and personal contexts, we are delighted to introduce the D’Amico & Pettinicchi Truth Scholarship. This $2,500 scholarship is open to all students who are pursuing a legal education. We invite you to share your thoughts in a 750-1000 word essay on the importance of truth and honesty in the judicial system and its current level of respect. How does this compare to the role of truth in your personal life and in society at large? Please review the eligibility criteria below and submit your application before the September 30th, 2024 deadline!
