At The Lemon Firm, we believe in supporting the next generation of consumer advocates. That’s why we’re proud to share the California Consumer Attorneys’ Annual Consumer Advocacy Scholarship. This $1,000 scholarship is open to students currently enrolled in or planning to attend law school who are passionate about protecting consumer rights. As large corporations continue to hire teams of attorneys, consumers who need strong legal representation now more than ever have fewer options for obtaining strong legal representation. CCA offers this scholarship to encourage students committed to pursuing justice on behalf of individuals. The winner will be chosen based on the quality of their essay and their academic achievements. Apply today to take a step toward making a difference for consumers!
