20 Law Students Named Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants Judicial Scholars

The MBF is proud to share that 20 local law students have been awarded $8,000 stipends as Chief Justice Gants Judicial Scholars. 

The Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants Judicial Scholarship Program was established to help law students pursuing judicial careers accept unpaid judicial internships by providing financial support during their placements.

Established in honor of the late Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants, these scholarships carry on his lifelong commitment to advance equity within the Massachusetts legal system.
