O’Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble Is Offering an Essay Scholarship Contest for Current and Incoming Law School Students

O’Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble Is Offering an Essay Scholarship Contest for Current and Incoming Law School Students

Application is now open, and the firm encourages eligible students to apply before the deadline to take advantage of this opportunity.

The attorneys of O'Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble (OPLN) are proud to announce the Annual Graduate School Scholarship. Open to law students attending or accepted to an accredited law school in the U.S., this $1,500 scholarship is meant to help cover the cost of tuition and other school-related expenses. The hope is that opportunities like this encourage more students to pursue their passion in the legal field without having too much of a financial burden.

The Importance of Scholarships and Other Financial Aid

It is no secret that law school is expensive. According to Forbes, the average tuition cost for in-state students at a public university law school is $84,558. The amount for those attending a private school is nearly double, at around $147,936. ABA reports that 90% of law school students borrowed student loans for their education. 

Due to this rise in law school tuition, students are often deterred from the profession due to the sheer cost. However, individual scholarship programs like the one offered by OPLN help offset those costs and make law school a reality for many students. 

How the Scholarship for Law Students Works

To be considered, students simply need to be currently attending law school or have been accepted to a law program as of January 2023. Next, students must submit an essay of 500 words or less answering the following prompt:

What are the most commonly misdiagnosed conditions that may lead to a medical malpractice lawsuit, and what are the legal repercussions of each?

Judges are looking for a well-crafted essay that explores the topic in a unique way. Students should not exceed the word count and may want to reread their essay thoroughly to make sure there aren't any grammatical errors. 

Applications for the essay scholarship competition are due no later than September 15, 2023. The winner will then be selected by September 30, 2023, and subsequently notified. Students are encouraged to include their contact information and proof of enrollment with their submission.

About O'Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble:

Founded in 2008, O'Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble is a merger of two of the most formidable firms in the state of New Jersey. With over 100 years of combined experience, OPLN's founding partners are part of the American Board of Trial Advocates.

WyoTech Auto Technicians in High Demand Due to the Economy’s Vital Trucking Industry

WyoTech Auto Technicians in High Demand Due to the Economy’s Vital Trucking Industry

Automotive trade school provides a vital resource to the auto & trucking industries as demand for technicians is at an all-time high.

WyoTech, a leading automotive, diesel, and collision trade school, can't keep up with the need for auto technicians, as demand has never been higher.

According to Fullbay's 2022 State of Heavy-Duty Industry Report, 65% of the auto fleet and shops surveyed admitted that the top challenge was finding and hiring qualified technicians. The average age of technicians was between the ages of 25-34, totaling 41% of technician employees. 

The good news is many technicians remain loyal once with an employer. For example, technicians between the ages of 35 and 44 have been in the industry for 11 years on average and seven years with their current employer.  

"America cannot run without its trucking and automotive industries, which are desperate for qualified technicians; our automotive trade school fills a need," CEO and President Jim Mathis said. 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 28,000 jobs will be needed for diesel service technicians and mechanics over the next 10 years. WyoTech's recent growth in its automotive and diesel collision trade school is impacting the auto and truck industries by training an expanded pool of experienced and skilled workforce in need of employees.  

"I have been in the industry for over 20 years, and while there have been some ebbs and flows for technician needs, what we're seeing now is something I've never seen before," John Alexopoulos of W.W. Williams said.   

"We don't have an abundance of new trucks that our fleets can purchase and just get rid of their old equipment," Alexopoulos said. "The old ones need to be fixed. So, the need for diesel technicians that are trained and able to jump right in is at its all-time high, and I only see it getting higher." 

"In the agricultural industry, the demand has definitely increased for knowledgeable technicians or technicians that are willing to learn," Nate Balstad of C&B Operations said. "With the dollar value that agriculturalists are paying per hour for technician labor on a job and their margins being thinner and smaller all the time, there's not a lot of room for error. So, the demand for a well-qualified, young, energetic technician who is willing to learn and be a part of a team definitely continues to grow." 

WyoTech recently hosted a career fair in Laramie, Wyoming, on Feb. 15-16, with 96 companies conducting 907 interviews. WyoTech students were hired at the fair, a testament to the company's vision of offering the best training in the industry for auto technicians.  

"More people are beginning to attend trade schools than ever before. It is really gratifying to see our graduates go through our nine months training program and then get hired by companies that need technicians," Mathis said. 

The career fair for auto technicians takes place every three months, giving students an important opportunity to display their skills and connect with potential employers. 

"What needs to be addressed is how American families see the importance of trade education," WyoTech Vice President of Marketing Ashley Chitwood said. "It is not just the transportation industry. It is in every trade this nation requires to grow and thrive. There are ample jobs and tremendous opportunities for skilled trades in the nation, but we are in a shortage."  

"COVID opened the eyes of many to supply chain issues, the importance of mechanics, drivers, and pilots to get what we have historically taken for granted," Chitwood said.
