The Law Blogger’s Scholarship
We here at The Law Office of Joshua Pond want to give back to the community and help encourage future attorneys, judges, and leaders. So, we decided to offer financial assistance to those who have chosen to embark on that path. It is our hope that this scholarship will aid in the future success of many students to come!
We’re asking students to write a 300-500 word essay answering the following question:
Do you agree or disagree with the death penalty? If you agree, why? If you disagree, what do you propose we do instead?
How Much is the Scholarship Award?
$500
How Do I Apply?
Applying is easy. First, write your essay in 300-500 words and post it online—either on your own blog, a friend’s blog, or a school blog.
When you’ve written your essay and successfully posted it online, add the embed code below to the end of your post. This must be done to make it an official entry, so no one else can claim your essay as their own.
Once you’ve completed all of the above steps, come let us know by filling out the form below. Be sure that all of the information you give us is correct, especially the URL of where you posted your essay, and your email address so we may contact you in the event that your essay is chosen.

How Will It be Judged?
Being such a sensitive and hot topic today, your answer will be judged on your ability to
communicate your stance without using aggressive (either passively or directly) language,
and also your ability to clearly communicate your stance within the 300-500 word
limitation.
Do I have to have a blog to apply?
Yes and no. Your essay must be published somewhere online where others can read and comment, however you need not have your own personal blog. If you know a friend who blogs, you’re welcome to publish your essay via their blog. Also, your school may have a place to post your essay online as well. If you do wish to take this opportunity to start your own blog, we recommend starting here:
